Question

question 2
according to the article, why do people go faster on a wet slide?
a. because the water reduces friction between the riders and the slide
b. because the water swings the riders from side to side as they descend
c. because the water increases the pull of gravity as the riders descend
d. because the water increases friction between the riders and the slide

Explanation:

Friction opposes motion. Water on a slide acts as a lubricant, reducing the frictional force between riders and the slide surface. This allows riders to move more freely and thus go faster. Gravity remains constant and water doesn't increase it. Water also doesn't swing riders side - to - side as the main reason for increased speed, and it doesn't increase friction.

Answer:

A. Because the water reduces friction between the riders and the slide
