Mr. Biando's Lab - Friction
| Definition | Term |
|---|---|
| A force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are in contact. | Friction |
| A source of friction caused by gravity or wieght. | Force |
| A source of friction caused by the microscopic peaks and valleys between two objects. | Surface texture |
| A type of friction that helps move objects. | Kinetic |
| A type of friction that occurs when two objects are at rest. | Static |
| When friction causes problems such as wearing out objects. | Harmful |
| When friction has a benifical effect on objects. | Helpful |
| One method of reducing friction is by using a substance inbetween the two surfaces. | Lubrication |
| A method of reducing friction by using round objects inbetween the two surfaces. | Rolling Friction |
| A method that might reduce sliding friction between two surfaces. | Smoothing surfaces |
| One way that increases sliding friction inbetween two surfaces. | Roughing surfaces |
| A way to increase friction for example by increasing weight or gravity. | Increase force |
| A type of kinetic friction envolving round objects inbetween two surfaces. | Rolling |
| A type of kinetic friction that occurs when you rub two surfaces together. | Sliding |
