2.

This type of force resist motion between two surfaces that are pressed together.

a)

Contact

b)

Gravity

c)

Friction

d)

Joint

3.

Which type of friction is shown in the picture?

a)

Rolling Friction

b)

Fluid Friction

c)

Static Friction

d)

Sliding Friction

4.

You can move heavy boxes by sliding them over the ground, or you can put them on a dolly and then roll them over the ground. Which way makes it easier to move the boxes? Why?

a)

Sliding the boxes on the floor is easier than using the dolly because rolling friction is less than sliding friction

b)

Sliding the boxes on the floor is easier than using the dolly because sliding friction is less than rolling friction.

c)

Rolling the boxes over the floor on the dolly is easier because sliding friction is less than rolling friction.

d)

Rolling the boxes over the floor on the dolly is easier because rolling friction is less than sliding friction.
