_________________ is a contact force between two surfaces when they push or rub against each other. It is parallel to the surfaces and opposes their motion.

• Friction

• Gravity

• Magnetism

• Normal force

Order the different surfaces from greatest friction(3) to least friction (1); Gravel, wood, ice.

• gravel surface = 3, wooden floor = 2, ice = 1

• gravel surface = 1, wooden floor = 2, ice = 3

• gravel surface = 2, wooden floor = 3, ice = 1

• gravel surface = 1, wooden floor = 3, ice = 2

What is gravity?

• A) A contact force that pushes objects apart

• B) A non-contact force that pulls objects with mass toward each other

• C) A force that only affects planets

• D) A force that increases with distance
