Friction Lab

The lab involved the same 500g weight sliding across three different surfaces. A spring scale attached to the weight measured the amount of force (N) it took to pull the weight. What did you learn about friction and force from this lab? Leave a comment for extra credit.

  1. The more friction the more force it takes to use.

  2. I learned that u can increase friction and decrease it

  3. I learned that on didn't sufaces the weight can change . Stephanie bazsuly 4th ;D

  4. dragging a weight on a rough surface takes mor newtons than on a smooth surface

  5. I learned that changing the surface of what your sliding it on, will change how much you force you need to use to pull the weight.

  6. the rougher surface requires more force but on a smooth surface with a lubricant like oil its really easy

  7. the rougher the surface, the more force you need to apply. the smoother the surface, with the oil, it's easier to pull

  8. different surfaces require different amounts of force

    Different surface reqiure different amounts of force

  10. The Things I Learned That When You Take An Object And Place It On A Smooth, Or Rough SUrface, It Takes Different Amounts Of Force To Pull The Object. Somtimes The Surface Can Help The Object Move Or It Can Slow The Object Down......Elisabeth King P.2

  11. Different surfaces/textures cause different amounts of friction.

  12. The less friction there was, the less newtons were required to pull the 500g weight.

  13. different surfaces require different amounts of force.
    dragging a weight on a rough surface takes more newtons than it does by dragging the same weight on a smooth suface.
