Friction Test - Part 1

Front

What is Kinetic Friction?

Back

Kinetic Friction is the force that resists motion between objects that are in motion.

Front

What is Static Friction?

Back

Static Friction is the force that resists motion between objects that are at rest.

Front

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and is also a measure of what?

Back

Inertia.

Front

What does Newton's Third Law state?

Back

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Front

Forces always exist in what?

Back

Pairs.

Front

What is the Coefficient of Friction?

Back

The Coefficient of Friction is a numerical value that represents the frictional force between two objects.

Front

What is the difference between Kinetic and Static Friction?

Back

Kinetic Friction acts on moving objects, while Static Friction acts on objects at rest.

Front

What is Inertia?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

What is an example of Kinetic Friction in everyday life?

Back

Sliding a book across a table.

Front

What is an example of Static Friction in everyday life?

Back

Pushing a heavy box that does not move.
