Describing How

Friction Affects
Motion
What things do you
remember when
you hear the word
“FRICTION”?
How friction
affects
motion?
 Group Activity
(Refer to Activity 1 on
page 130, Enjoying Life
with Science).

of the
outputs.
How Friction affects motion?
If you roll a ball along the floor
or ground, it will slow down and
stop even though no apparent
force is being applied to it. The
ball slows down and stops
because of friction.
How Friction affects
motion?
Friction slows down a
moving object.
How Friction affects
motion?
A car that runs on a very
rough road slows down due
to friction. However, on a
smooth road it travel fast.
How Friction affects motion?
A smooth road has less
friction, thus the faster the
object move. A rough road
has more friction, thus the
slower the object move.

importance of
friction in schools
and at home?
