A student slides a book over two different surfaces. First, she slides the book across a desk. Next, she slides the same book on the carpet. She exerts the same force onto both books. Which surface would cause a greater change in the velocity of the book? Explain your answer.
A. Desk
B. Carpet
C. The change would be the same
On the carpet there's more friction so the book would go not as far on the carpet as it would go on the desk which is a smooth surface so it has less friction.
