1(a) (i) The worker faced more friction in Situation A.
(ii) The frictional force produced depends on the type of surface.
(iii) The rougher the surface, the greater the frictional force./ Different types of surface
produce different frictional force./ The magnitude of frictional force varies with the
different types of surface.
