Friction Forces lab Quiz

In today's lab, you measured different types of friction for a book on a table. Which type of friction typically required the greatest force to overcome?

• Kinetic friction

• Static friction

• Rolling friction

• Sliding friction

Once the book was in motion, which type of friction did you observe?

• Static friction

• Kinetic friction

• Potential friction

• Zero friction

If you were to repeat the lab using a heavier book, how would this affect the measured friction forces?

• The friction forces would decrease

• The friction forces would increase

• The friction forces would remain the same

• It's impossible to predict without more information

In the rolling friction part of the lab, what would happen if you used a book with a smoother cover?

• Rolling friction would increase

• Rolling friction would decrease

• Rolling friction would remain the same

• The book would slide instead of roll
