A book sliding across a table has friction, if you increase the weight of the book does the amount of friction increase?

A.Yes, the heavier book will have more friction resistance force

B. No, the weight will not change the amount of friction

C. It all depends on what the book is about

Respuesta :

B   No, the weight will not change the amount of friction

Friction is directly proportional to the weight of the load. So yes, the heavier book will have more friction applied to it. (*A*)
