6 Questions
Which of the following best explains why an object moving along a surface slows down and eventually stops?
Friction between the object and the surface converts kinetic energy into heat
What is the primary factor contributing to an object's gradual slowing down and eventual stop when moving along a surface?
Conversion of kinetic energy into other forms due to friction
What effect does the interaction between an object and the surface have on the object's motion?
It results in a net decrease in the object's total mechanical energy
Which of the following factors is NOT a significant contributor to the level of friction between two surfaces?
Velocity of the object
In the context of friction, which factor refers to the force that opposes the initial motion of an object over a surface?
Coefficient of friction
How does the type of material affect the level of friction between two surfaces?
It increases friction due to stronger molecular bonds
