_____ is the force that slows and stops motion between touching objects.

• Friction
• Gravity
• Pull
• Push

Which has the least friction?

• snowboard on a snowy hill
• running on the playground
• sandpaper on wood
• a racer on a track

Why is there less friction between two ice cubes touching than between sandpaper on wood?

• They have rough surfaces.
• They have loud surfaces.
• They have smooth surfaces.
• They have bright surfaces.

What is one way to reduce friction?

• Put sandpaper between the surfaces that touch.
• Push the surfaces closer together.
• Shine a light on the surfaces.
• Put a slippery substance between the surfaces.

In which of the following activity is friction useful?

• sliding down a snowy hill on a sled
• ice skating
• running around a track
• roller blading

Why do air planes and race cars have sleek shapes?

• to reduce friction from air resistance
• to increase air resistance
• to look more appealing than cats
• so people will buy them
