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

• Force and roughness between surfaces
• The color and brightness of the objects

• How smelly or not smelly the objects are

• Whether Grogu is using his levitation powers or not... May the Force be with you, always!

Which would NOT be a way of reducing friction?

• making the surfaces smoother
• using lubricants such as waxes, oils, or grease
• changing from sliding friction to rolling friction using ball bearings
• Using kitty litter on snow and ice to help your car gain traction

Why is it important for basketball players to wear shoes with tread when playing?

• to increase the speed of the player

• to decrease the force between the player and the floor

• to decrease the amount of force needed for the player to move

• to increase friction between the floor and the player’s feet

Friction is a force that acts in a/an ___________ direction of movement.

• similar
