Types Of Forces
Friction
When is friction:
*** Helpful?
Starting and stopping
Walking
Tires on the road
Lighting a match

Is a force that resists the motion of two surfaces that are touching.

*** Not helpful?

Flying an airplane

Ice skating

Fuel efficiency

Heat buildup

Skin abrasions

Going fast racing

Part A: Friction
It is the directionOpposi
_____________ to the direct of motion.
te
Stop
Friction will eventually cause objects
to ______________
Motion

Friction

Part B: Friction
B. Strength affected by:
***i. Type of Surface:Rough increases friction / Smooth
reduces friction
________________________________________________
Force
***ii. How hard the surfaces push together = ________________

Mass

Mass = amount
of matter in an
Iii. The ______________ of the objects
object

Part C: Types of Friction

Static
i. __________________
- prevents surfaces from sliding past each other.
Box will not slide on floor

Example: ___________________________________

Sliding

ii. __________________ - opposes motion of surfaces sliding past each other

Book moves across a desk

Example: _____________________________________

Rolling

iii. __________________ when an object rolls over a surface

Wheels / ball bearings

Example: ________________________________

Fluid

iv. ________________ - when an object moves through a fluid

Oils / Soaps / Lubricants

Example: __________________________________

Gravity

Gravity An attractive force that exists between all objects

________________________________________________________
that have mass
Law of Universal Gravitation says:
Gravity acts on all objects in the
______________________________________________________
universe
i.

Direction is toward each object (attraction)

Gravity
ii Strength depends on:
distance

1. The _______________ between the objects

More distance = less force

Example: _________________

Mass
2. The ____________ of the objects

More mass = more force

Example: __________________

Gravity: Part B
Because of gravity, objects in flight, such as a ball or a
rocket,
follow ___________________ (non-linear paths) That
Curved
same object thrown in outer space, not within any
objects
gravitational pull, would follow a
Straight
_________________________ path
