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.
