LEARNING OUTCOMES:

At the end of this lesson, students will

be able to:
Explain with examples the existance of
frictional force.
State the direction of frictional force.
Carry out an experiment (simulation) to
show how different types of surfaces affect
frictional force.
Explain the advantages and disadvantages
of friction.

What is
Friction?

SH.EFF
A

Friction is a force between two

surfaces that are sliding and
they must in contact with each
other.
Examples:
The tyre of the lorry
is in contact with the
road.

SH.EFF

Friction always works in the opposite

direction from the direction of the
moving object.
Can slows a moving
object down

Disadvantages of
friction

Friction produces heat.

Friction wears out the rubbing
surfaces.
Friction produces noise.
