Streamlining This is friction caused by water

particles

This is the forces that is made when

Water Resistance things rub together. This force slows
things down

This is when the shape of an object is

Friction changed so there is less friction
slowing it down.

Lubrication This is friction cause by air particles

This is when you add something like oil

Newtons to make a surface smoother so it has
less friction

Air Resistance These are the units that force is

measure d in
 Low friction surface High friction surface

Q) Which is more streamlined: a lorry or a sports car? __________________

Friction has three effects:

1. It produces _________________________ (eg to make a ___________)
2. It stops things from _________________ or _______________ them down
3. It __________________ surfaces down as they rub together ( eg a tyre)

Friction is when surfaces __________

against each other. Friction often cause
surfaces to get__________. If you create
enough friction, you can make a
_________________. Friction is a force. It
is measured in _______________.

There are two main ways of reducing

friction. One way is by _______________
the surfaces. You can do this by covering
them in ___________or grease to make
the surfaces smoother. The other way is to

Streamlining increases friction

Friction creates heat energy
Friction speeds cars up
Rough surfaces have high friction
Resistance is the same as friction
You can get friction in water and air too
Friction is measured in grams
Friction usually creates some sound energy
Friction stops you slipping over
Friction slows you down
Streamlined cars move faster
Friction always creates potential energy
Friction can be useful
Smooth surfaces have high friction
A lot of friction is bad for parachutists
Lubrication increases friction
 Air resistance slows down aeroplanes

Streamlining is about changing an objects colour

Wood is a good lubricant
Friction slows cars up
Oil would make a lubricant
Resistance can be useful
Water has friction
Resistance is measured in grams
You can use friction to make a fire
Friction makes you slip over
Wet glass would have a lot of friction
Streamlined animals move slower
Rough surfaces have high friction
Friction can wear a surface down
Friction makes things get warm
Lubrication decreases resistance
The air can have friction

Why is air resistance importance to someone using a parachute?

Why do space capsules heat up when they fall to earth?

What would happen if your shoes didn’t create any friction with the ground?

What would happen if the world had no resistance anywhere?

Would a rough surface to create more friction than a smooth surface?

Why is air resistance importance in sport?

When you move fast, would the resistance increase, decrease or stay the same?

Resistance can be caused by different things. For example

;___________, air or rough materials like_____________.

Friction can be useful. For example, ___________need to have friction

to stop you sliding about. You can change the shoe’s friction by changing
the ____________on the shoe’s sole. Friction is also useful when you do
a parachute jump, without it your ___________would not be able to
slow your fall!

Friction can also be bad. For example, when you are trying to travel very
__________and resistance is holding you back. You can reduce friction
by making objects________________.

The shark’s body _____________has adapted to the environment by

reducing water __________________so it can move through the water
a lot faster. Sportswear and sports ___________is also designed to
reduce resistance. This is called ____________and it is very useful in
speeding objects up.

The faster you go the __________the resistance you will have. One
example of this is when you are walking you can not feel the
_________ rushing passed you, but when you are moving fast in car you
can feel the air resistance if you put your hand out of the
_______________. Another example is when a space capsules gets
really hot and burns up when it re-enters the atmosphere. This is
because it is going incredibly fast and so the increased air
___________ rubbing on the capsule causes it to ____________up.
