Question
- ccc stability and change snow has been lying on a mountainside. suddenly, it starts to move down the mountain. which types of friction are observed in this avalanche? where does each type occur?
Brief Explanations
Static friction acts on stationary objects. Here, the snow is initially at rest on the mountainside, so static friction is present. Sliding friction acts on objects in relative motion. When the snow begins to slide down the mountain, sliding friction comes into play.
