    Reviewing forces

    and
    friction force
    Objectives:
    • Reviewing push and pull forces.

    • Learn about friction force and look at examples.


    Reviewing forces
    We talked about two types of forces, push and pull.

    Push and pull are forces that change the way an object moves. It might
    make them go faster, go slower or stop them.
    You can also use push and pull to change the shape of an object or the
    direction the object is moving in.

    In general:
    Push moves things further away
    Pull brings them closer.

    Kicking a soccer ball will move it Pulling a cart moves it closer


    away from you and change it’s towards you, is this push or pull?
    place, is this push or pull?
    Push and pull forces can be used to change the shape of
    materials

    Using pulling force, Using pushing


    we can change the force, we can turn
    shape of rubber and clay in to clay pots
    stretch it! and bowls!
    Now lets talk about
    friction!
    Friction
    Friction occurs between two surfaces that slide against each other.

    Friction is the force that acts


    against you when you try to
    move something heavy.

    The rougher the surface,


    the stronger the friction.

    Friction produces heat, like when you rub your hands together.
    Using and Reducing
    Friction
    Friction is useful when it helps
    us grip the floor with our shoes
    and stop car tyres skidding.

    However, for people like ice


    skaters, it is a good thing that
    ice causes very little friction.

    Which do you think is easier to slide on, a smooth surface or a rough


    surface? And why? Lets try and answer that!
    Which surface do you think is easier to slip on, the snow (A) or grass (B)?

    Of course (A)! Because there is less friction force!

    Any surface that is slippery or smooth means it has small friction force!
    Any surface that is rough means it has a lot of friction force!
    Why do you think a slide
    is made from plastic?!

    Because plastic is smooth,


    which means it doesn’t
    have a lot of friction so it
    will be easy to slide on!

    What if the slide was


    made from rough wood?

    Then you wouldn’t slide on


    it because there would be a
    lot of friction to stop you!
    Air Resistance
    Air resistance is a type of friction.

    Air resistance makes it more


    difficult for an aeroplane to travel
    through the air.

    Because there is friction in the air, airplanes are made in a way that
    makes the friction less and fly easier!
    Remember!

    • Friction is a force that happens when two objects rub


    against each other!

    • On smoother surfaces friction is less, which means


    its easier to move on them!

    • On rough surfaces friction is more, which means its


    harder to move on them!
