C. FrictionC. FrictionFriction
force that opposes motion between 2 surfaces
depends on the:• types of surfaces• force between the surfaces
C. FrictionC. FrictionFriction is greater...
between rough surfaces when there’s a greater
force between the surfaces (e.g. more weight)
Pros and Cons?
Types of FrictionTypes of FrictionStatic = occurs between 2
surfaces that touch but do not move in relation to each other
Sliding = occurs when one object slides over another. Weaker than staticCauses heat
Rolling = occurs between the surface of a round object and another surface.Weaker than slidingLess heat produced
Fluid friction = friction that opposes the motion of objects traveling though a liquid or gas.
Reducing frictionReducing frictionUse a lubricant
Change the type of friction involved
Make surfaces that touch smoother
Is friction always a problem? How could you increase friction?
