Flashcards

What is friction?

A force that opposes the motion between two surfaces in contact.

What is friction's effect on motion?

The force that slows down a moving object.

How do brakes use friction to stop a car?

Brakes apply a frictional force to the wheels, causing them to slow down.

Why is it hard to walk on a wet floor?

Smooth surfaces have less friction, making it difficult to maintain a grip.
