Describe and define friction
Friction
Friction, unlike gravity, is a force between two bodies which are in contact with
each other. It stops an object from sliding against a surface or another object by acting
in the opposite direction of the sliding movement. Take for example, a moving car,
when the driver wants to stop the car, he or she steps on the brakes. The brakes apply
force on tires, causing friction to slow down and stop the tires.

Look at a stack of coins. Each coin “sticks” to the one beneath and the one
above it because of friction. This is why the stack stays upright. When you try to slowly
push a coin out of a stack, the coin will slightly pull the stack along too. The ridges on
each coin also “interlock” with each other, helping to prevent the coins from easily falling
of the stack.
Friction is a force, friction holds the coin in place while gravity acts when the coin
slides down.
Exercises:
Practice Exercise 1:
Students will use one match box car, one board, textbooks as stacking tools, a piece of
rubber, a piece of felt paper, a piece of sand paper and a stop watch.
Ask students to record their findings as they work through all scenarios.
They will start by stacking books and using the board as a ramp.
They will start with the board alone and time the car from start to finish as it races down
the board. They will need to repeat this three times and then find the average time it
took the car to go down the ramp.
The student will repeat the process with the rubber placed on top of the board, then the
felt paper, and finally the sand paper.
Based from your findings the amount of friction depends on surface material and force
pressing object together. The sand paper was rougher and slower than the rubber
piece. The greater the amount of friction, the harder/ slower an object moves, the
smaller the amount of friction, the faster/ easier an object moves.
Guide Questions:
1. What is it called when two objects rub together?
2. What makes the objects harder to rub together?
3. How can you make it easier to rub two objects together?
4. What is produced by friction?
5. Give examples of friction in the world around you?

Practice Exercise 2:
Glecy covered a ramp with different materials and measured how far a wooden
block slid on each surface before coming to a halt. Here are her results.
Guide Questions:
1. Which is the smoothest surface?
Generalizations:
Friction is a force that slows things down.
When two surfaces come in contact with one another there is a frictional force.
The amount of friction depends on a number of factors.
Rougher surfaces create more friction than smooth surfaces.
Application:
A car moves faster than a ten-wheeler truck. What factors affects their speed?

Learning Competency:
Investigate why an object moving along a surface slows down and
eventually stops.
Frictional force is a type of force that acts oppositely to the applied force
or motion of an object. It can slow down moving objects depending on the
texture (roughness or smoothness) of the surface where an object is in
motion.
Frictional Force
The frictional force is the force exerted by a surface as an object
moves across it or come in contact with. There are two types of friction –
sliding and static friction. Though it is not always the case, the frictional
force often opposes the motion of an object. For example, if a book slides
across the surface of a desk, then the desk exerts a friction force in the
opposite direction of its motion. Friction results from the two surfaces being
pressed together closely, causing intermolecular attractive forces between
molecules of different surfaces. As such, friction depends upon the nature
of the two surfaces and upon the degree to which they are pressed
together.
Page 6 of 25
PASAY_S6FE-Q3-W1-D2
The frictional force refers to the force generated by two surfaces that
contacts and slide against each other. When two bodies in contact, move
relative to each other then there exists a force which has a tendency to
oppose that movement which is called frictional force.
Exercises:
Exercise 1:
What makes the object moves slow?
Materials:
Toy Car Sliding Board Wooden Block Cardboard Strips
What to do:
1. Set sliding board
2. Place the toy car and release afterward. Observe.
3. This time place the card board strips across the sliding board. The
strips will serve as humps.
4. Again, place the toy car on top of the sliding board then release.
Observe the motion of the car.

PASAY_S6FE-Q3-W1-D2
Questions:
1. In what direction did the toy car go after releasing it?
2. Describe the motion of the car as it goes down the sliding board.
3. What happened to the motion of the toy car when the cardboard
strips where placed across the sliding board downward?
4. How do you call this force that slowed down the movement of the toy
car?
Exercise 2:
Procedure:
1. Get a toy car
2. Make the toy car move on the floor by pressing it with your hand.
3. Press the toy car harder on the floor. Observe the changes on its
movement.
Questions:
1. What happened to the movement of the car when you pressed it
harder on the floor? Did it move slower or faster?
2. When you pressed the car on the floor what force was produced?
Generalization:
An object that moves along surface eventually slows down and stops
because of friction.

Friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material
elements sliding against each other. It is a force between two surfaces that are sliding, or trying
to slide, across each other. For example, when you try to push a book along the floor, friction
makes this difficult. Friction always works in the direction opposite to the direction in which the
object is moving, or trying to move.
In this lesson, we are going to describe how friction affects the movement of objects. So
read the contents carefully and study the concept to be mastered to answer the succeeding
exercises and formative test. Are you now kids ready?

Friction is a force between two bodies which are in contact with each other. It stops an
object from sliding against a surface or another object by acting in the opposite direction of the
sliding movement. Take for example, a moving car. When the driver wants to stop the car, he or
she steps on the brakes. The brakes apply force on tires, causing friction to slow down and stop
the tires. A car that runs on a very rough road slows down due to friction. However, on a smooth
road, it travels fast. A smooth surface has a very few bumps and hollows. There is less friction
on a smooth surface. A running object can glide or move continuously with very little force.

Good morning kids. Yesterday we studied about how friction affects the motion of an
object, right? I am certain that you are much enjoying our lesson. Today, therefore we will
move to the next topic. After carefully studying the concept in the given activity, you will be
able to describe the types of friction and give even more examples in each type.
Guys, are you now ready?
Climbing a vertical rock wall means pitting your strength and stamina against the force
of gravity, which pulls you down toward the ground. Another force helps you to climb the
vertical rock wall by keeping your hands and feet from slipping. That force is friction.
There are different types of friction that we come across in our daily activities. They
are sliding, fluid, static and rolling frictions.

There are four types of friction: static, sliding, rolling, and fluid friction. Static,
sliding, and rolling friction occur between solid surfaces. Static friction is strongest,
followed by sliding friction, and then rolling friction, which is weakest.
Fluid friction occurs in fluids, which are liquids or gases.

You have already learned about the types of friction and its
examples. Well, today you are going to cite daily life situations showing
the types of friction. Just give your full attention to this module and I’m
sure you will enjoy this lesson.
We Friction is a force between two bodies which are in contact with each other. It is a
use
force that resist movement and when applied to an object, the object remains at rest until
that force is overcome.
It always slows a moving object down or stops an object from sliding or moving against a
surface or another object by acting in the opposite direction of the sliding movement.

Let us remember…
Application
When a driver wants to stop his car, he or she steps on the brakes. The brakes
apply force on tires, causing friction to slow down and stop the tires. When we file boxes
one on top of the other, each box “sticks” to the one beneath and the one above it
because of friction that’s why they stay upright.
Some people are into biking while others like roller skating. Friction is applied to
make the bicycle and roller skate stop.
What will happen if there is no friction? What will happen to the cyclists and
skaters? Why is friction important?
