friction

• The one thing that changes in an experiment, different each trial (BEFORE the experiment is done)

• The resistance of motion when one object rubs against another. Whenever two objects rub against each other, they cause friction

• The force that pulls objects towards each other (we are pulled to the Earth’s surface)

• an action that changes or maintains the motion of an object

gravity

• The one thing that changes in an experiment, different each trial (BEFORE the experiment is done)

• The resistance of motion when one object rubs against another. Whenever two objects rub against each other, they cause friction

• The force that pulls objects towards each other (we are pulled to the Earth’s surface)

• an action that changes or maintains the motion of an object
