Frictional force acts in the .................. direction of motion

• same

• upward

• opposite

• downward

The rougher the surface, the greater the frictional force of the object.

• True

• False

Which of the following are the correct ways to reduce frictional friction?

• the usage of brake on the bike

• apply a lubricant (oil) on the moving part of a machine

• the soles of shoes prevent us from slipping

• use rollers / wheels to move heavy objects

Why does the man use wheels to move the object?

• it will reduce the frictional force

• it will increase the frictional force

• the object is not heavy

• the frictional force between the object and the floor is large
