question 2 of 28
if you step in oil, your shoes become slick. what does the oil do to your shoes?
a. it increases the force of friction
b. it increases the force of gravity
c. it decreases the force of gravity
d. it decreases the force of friction

Explanation:

Oil is a lubricant. Lubricants reduce friction between surfaces. When oil is spilled on shoes, it makes the surface of the shoes more slippery, which means the force of friction is decreased. Gravity is a force related to mass and the gravitational - field strength and is not affected by the presence of oil on shoes.

Answer:

D. It decreases the force of friction.
