What is Friction
Friction is a force exerted
by a solid surface. It opposes motion.
A child had a 600g basketball, a 500g football, a 150g baseball, and a 50g yo-yo. If the child had to throw one of the four, which one would take the MOST force to throw?
The basketball.
Who is responsible for discovering gravity?
Sir Isaac Newton
An apple falls from a tree. Are the forces acting on the apple balanced or unbalanced?
Unbalanced
Which direction will the box move?

What is a lubricant?
A lubricant makes a surface smoother.
Applied Force and Friction
Gravitational Force increases between two objects when
the objects become closer
Forces that are equal in strength and opposite in direction are
balanced
