What type of force slows you down as you slide across the floor?

A. Strong nuclear force

B. Friction

C. Magnetic force

D. Gravity

Friction can slows you down as you slide across the floor.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. So when we fall or slide upon a floor, just like resistance opposes the current flowing in the circuit, there is an external force that acts upon when we fall or slide away.

This external force is called as friction. Friction opposes the object making the object slowly decrease its speed and lose energy. Gravity is the force that makes all the objects to return to the earth or ground when thrown upon.

B-Friction

How?

Friction is when two surfaces rub against each other. This creates heat and resistance. It would only make sense that this force would slow you down will sliding across floors
