While walking on ice, one should take small steps to avoid slipping. This is because smaller steps ensure (a) larger friction (b) smaller friction (c) larger normal force (d) smaller normal force.

Answer»

(b) smaller friction

Explanation: 

Small steps keep the angle between the leg and the vertical small i.e. angle between the contact force and vertical is small so the horizontal component of the contact force (Friction force) is small.
