Friction is a resistive force, and always acts in a direction opposite the motion of the object. Surface friction is caused by the sliding movement of one surface over another. Air friction is caused by air molecules sliding passed an object. In both cases, it works by transferring kinetic energy from the moving object to the atoms/molecules of whatever is causing the friction.

How can you change the way things move?

By applying external forces. Remember to think about Newton's 1st law.


Why friction is important to running?

you need friction so the ground can push on your foot while your foot pushes on the ground. that is the only way you can move.


Can you think another way the Egyptians might have tried to reduce friction to move the heavy blocks?

They could have moved the block through water, which would be Fluid Friction, and makes it easier to move.

How do you know when something represent friction?

One way to tell if friction is happening is if there is heat. Friction occurs when two things rub against each other, and this generates heat. Another way to tell is if the items are becoming chafed.


Why do you think the amount of force needed to move the object changes the way it does base on the distance traveled on the on the ramp?

No. Unless the ramp reaches the sky, in which case, a change in the gravitational attraction should be considered. Or if you are considering a change in sliding friction based on a change in surface temperature, that could be a reason for the force to change.


2 ways you can reduce the amount of friction in order to move the box easily?

for this purpose, a box may kept in the trolley intead of sliding it. because rolling friction is less than sliding friction. 2nd way is to Greece the surface which will disconnet the connection of rough surface with that box and box can be move easily.
