What is friction? Think pair share!

Write a few examples

There is resistance to the rubbing motion. The name of this resistant force is FRICTION

Friction can;Produce heat Peter

Wear things away Watts

Slow things down Spent

Make a noise Money

Rub your hands together for a minute. How does that feel?

What causes the heat?

Friction always tries to slow moving objects down. It opposes motion.

It is a force between 2 touching objects.

Investigating Friction

• You can use newton meters to investigate the effect of friction.

Equipment around the room • Newton meter• 6 x 100 g masses• wooden blocks• different surfacesSafety• Do not overload the springs on newton meters.

Investigating friction

The type of graph you plot will depend on the variables you used.• When would you plot a bar chart?• When would you plot a line graph?

How does the roughness of the surface affect friction?
