friction doesn't affect speed
Which surface would have the most friction?
rough

During the winter, roads may become dangerously icy and slick. The council spread a mixture of crushed rock salt and sand on the roads called grit. How could this help to increase friction between car tyres and the road?
The salt stops water freezing to ice and the sand decreases the friction between car tyres and the roads
The salt makes water freeze to ice and the sand increases the friction between car tyres and the roads.
The salt stops water freezing to ice and the sand increases the friction between car tyres and the roads.
The salt makes water freeze to ice and the sand decreases the friction between car tyres and the roads.
A child rides her bike down a steep hillside. What is the best explanation of how she is able to slow down the speed of the bike?
The brakes of the bike create a magnetic field to slow down the bike.
The rubber of the tyres against the pavement reduces the force of friction.
The brakes rub against the tyres to increase friction to slow down the bike.
The speed of the bike creates a decrease in the gravitational pull
Students were investigating friction using a variety of activities. They created a data table in their science notebook showing their observations. Which of the following data tables correctly matches their observations and conclusions?
Students were investigating the amount of friction created by different surfaces. They rolled the same tennis ball down a ramp that was 10 cm high. They used a different surface to cover the ramp with each trial. Which data table matches the distance the tennis ball traveled with the correct conclusion about the force of friction between the ball and the surface?
Having streamlined vehicles can reduce friction
true
false
Angela and Janine investigated the time taken for a toy car to travel down a slope. They wanted to find out if the height of the slope affected the time taken. Which two boxes show the experiments they should compare for a valid test?
1 & 3
3 & 4
1 & 2
2 & 4

The results in the table show how much electricity was generated by a solar panel for the first 50 minutes after sunrise. What errors have been made when plotting this data on the graph?
Time and electricity should be plotted on the opposite axes and the units for time are missing
The units for time are missing and the plot for 10 minutes is incorrect.
There have been no errors made plotting the graph.
The units for time are missing and the plot for 30 minutes is incorrect
