What are 2 factors that determine the amount of friction between 2 objects?

• Force and roughness between surfaces
• hills and valleys and how smooth or rough the surface is
• Amount of force and amount of surface the comes in contact
• The force and the weight exerted on the surfaces

Which of the following is opposed by kinetic friction?

• A truck being pushed but not moving
• A box being pushed but not moving
• A box being pushed and sliding across the floor
• A wagon being pulled but not moving

Which of the following is an example of friction that is helpful?

• Brakes used on a bike
• Tires from a car on the road
• Tread on the bottom of your shoes
• All are examples that are helpful

Which of the following is an example of friction that is harmful?

• Pencil marking on paper
• Engine parts wearing out
• sand placed on ice in the winter
• Using an eraser to erase marks

How can friction be reduced?

• reduce the force acting between the 2 surfaces
• reduce the roughness of the 2 surfaces coming in contact
• use wax, grease or oil
• all of the above are ways of reducing friction
