Select the true statements:
- Friction allows objects to slide over each other without any resistance. — False. (Friction opposes sliding, not allow it without resistance.)
- Friction resists motion. — True. (It opposes relative motion or the tendency to move.)
- Friction is a force that acts from a distance. — False. (It is not a long‑range force like gravity or magnetism.)
- Friction is a contact force. — True. (It arises where surfaces touch.)
- Friction is caused by microscopic bumps and ridges on surfaces. — True. (Surface asperities and intermolecular interactions between them produce friction.)
