Friction Modified IPC

Front

What is rolling friction?

Back

Rolling friction is the resistance that occurs when an object rolls over a surface.

Front

What type of friction is experienced by a car tire rolling on the road?

Back

Rolling Friction.

Front

What is static friction?

Back

Static friction is the force that acts on objects that are not moving.

Front

Does a hard wood floor have more friction than a carpet?

Back

False.

Front

What is sliding friction?

Back

Sliding friction is the resistance that occurs when two solid surfaces slide over one another.

Front

What is the difference between static and kinetic friction?

Back

Static friction acts on stationary objects, while kinetic (or sliding) friction acts on moving objects.

Front

What factors affect the amount of friction between two surfaces?

Back

The texture of the surfaces and the force pressing them together.

Front

What is fluid friction?

Back

Fluid friction is the resistance encountered by an object moving through a fluid (liquid or gas).

Front

How does the weight of an object affect friction?

Back

In general, greater weight increases the frictional force between surfaces.

Front

What is an example of rolling friction in everyday life?

Back

A bicycle tire rolling on the road.
