Lesson 20 Friction and Gravity
Friction The force that two surfaces exert on each other when they rub against each other. Strength of friction How hard the surfaces push together Types of surfaces involved What is an example of friction?
Static Friction Sliding Friction Rolling Friction Fluid Friction Types of Friction Static Friction Sliding Friction Rolling Friction Fluid Friction
Static Friction Friction that acts on objects that are not moving Ex. Heavy treasure chest on floor
Sliding Fraction Occurs when two solid surfaces slide over each other Ex. Adding sand to an icy path to avoid slipping
Rolling Friction Occurs when objects roll across a surface Easier to overcome than sliding friction Ex. Anything that rolls over a surface
Fluid Friction Solid Object moves through fluid Ex. Surfboard on water
