Review: Forces that affect KE

Which of the following objects would be affected by air resistance?

• Child sliding backwards down an icy hill

• Falling paper cup

• Car driving down the highway

• all would be affected

• none would be affected

How is air resistance related to friction?

• Falling objects are the only ones affected by air resistance, but there is no friction.

• Moving objects move past air molecules, rubbing against them, which creates friction.

• Air resistance causes objects to be heavier, increasing friction.

• Air resistance and friction are not related.

The forces of friction on a moving object changes some of its energy into _______________energy.

• electric

• potential

• solar

• thermal

Friction can be reduced by using which of the following? Check all that apply.

• grease

• rough surface

• wheels

• ball bearings

Two children are rolling a ball across the floor to each other. Due to friction, which of the following will reduce the amount of kinetic energy in the rolling ball the most?

• Rolling the ball across hardwood floors

• Rolling the ball across carpet

• Rolling the ball across a tiled floor
