Friction is the force that resists the motion of objects in contact with each other and is caused by irregularities in the surfaces in contact. The factors that affect friction include the type of surfaces, amount of force pressing them together, and the type of friction whether static, sliding, or rolling. Friction has advantages like allowing us to walk without slipping but also disadvantages like slowing movement and producing unwanted heat.

CAUSE OF FRICTION

5. •Kind of surface.
•Amount of force pressing the
surface together.
FACTORS AFFECTING
FRICTION

6. Static friction
Sliding friction
Rolling friction
DIFFERENT TYPES OF FRICTIONS

7. • Use lubricants like powder or oil or
grease.
• Use rollers or wheelers.
• Use ball bearings.
METHODS TO REDUCE
FRICTION

8. • To walk or run without slipping.
• To write with a pen or pencil on a
paper.
• To hold objects steadily in hands.
• To slow down a vehicle when the
break is applied.
ADVANTAGES OF FRICTION

9. • Slows down the movement of
objects.
• Produces unnecessary heat and
damages machines.
• More energy is needed to move an
object.
