Assertion: When a force F⃗\vec{F} attempts to slide a body along a surface, a frictional force parallel to the surface and directed so as to oppose the sliding, is exerted on the body by the surface.
Reason: It is due to the bonding between the body and the surface.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
If both Assertion & Reason are True & the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion
