What is blowing across the ocean surface causes friction, which results in the transfer of energy from the wind to the water, creating waves and ocean currents. This energy transfer plays a significant role in driving the circulation patterns of the ocean and affecting weather patterns.

What are somethings with little friction?

Ice and marble floor have little friction and results in objects slidding as they go across the surface.


Where do the waves come from?

Waves are created by the transfer of energy from winds blowing across the surface of the water. The friction between the wind and the surface of the water causes ripples to form, which can develop into waves as they travel across the ocean.


How will the velocity of the book change as it moves across a surface with no friction?

The velocity of the book will remain constant as it moves across a surface with no friction.


How will the velocity of the book change as it moves across the surface with friction?

The velocity of the book will decrease as it moves across the surface with friction. Friction acts in the opposite direction of motion, slowing down the book.

What type of friction required force to start an object moving across a surface?

Static friction is the type of friction that requires force to start an object moving across a surface. Once the object is in motion, kinetic friction takes over to oppose its motion.
