Study Notes

Metals and Non-Metals

Metals are characterized by being shiny, good conductors of electricity and heat, malleable, and ductile.

Force and Pressure

Force is a push or pull that causes an object to change its motion or shape.
Pressure is the force per unit area on an object or surface.

Friction

Friction is the force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are in contact.
Factors that affect the amount of friction between two surfaces include:
- Surface area in contact
- Normal force (force perpendicular to the surface)
- Surface roughness
- Type of surfaces in contact
Static friction is the frictional force that prevents an object from moving, and is greater than kinetic friction.
Kinetic friction is the frictional force that opposes an object's motion, and is less than static friction.
Examples of static friction include trying to push a heavy box, or trying to start a car on a hill.
Examples of kinetic friction include a car moving on a road, or a block sliding on a table.
