Can friction ever be eliminated?
- A. Yes
- B. No
- C. Sometimes
- D. Depends on the object in regard
Step-by-step solution
Friction arises from surface irregularities and intermolecular forces. It can be minimized (e.g., using lubricants or air bearings) but never completely eliminated under normal conditions; even in ideal scenarios, some residual friction exists.
