Friction

What do you think of when you here the word friction ? 


What factors determine the strength of the friction force when two surfaces slide against each other ?

if you were in the space shuttle and re-entering the atmosphere, the bottom of the shuttle would be getting very hot.

I think of friction as a force that holds back a sliding object.
The factors that determine the strength is resistance.

i thinx of statick alectricity and baloons Lo9an

I think of friction as a force.

Nathan said...

i think of electricity and force. metal and ice determine the work together.

1.Carpet
2.The factors that determine the strength is resistance.

I think of friction as a type of force that holds back an object while it's moving.
The factor that determines the strength is resistance.

db said...

I think of carpets and dragging my feet on the ground and electricity

jarred s said...

something that slows you down

Gail :) said...

I think of something moving.
The speed and surfaces determine the strength of friction force.

Sammy P said...

Friction is resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving one another.

Depends on the surface and the object on how strong the friction is.

I think Friction as a type of Force

Lauryn F said...

1. what I think friction is, is movement.

Friction is a force that holds back the movement of a sliding object so if there is 2 sliding objects it is still conidered friction.

I think of it as a force the rubs together.
Resistance is the factor that determines the strength.

When i hear the word friction i think of it as something that slows you down. Factors that determine the strength is resistance.

What do you think of when you here the word friction ? what i think of when i hear the word friction is someone rubbing a balloon ton their shirt then putting it over their head and there hair sticks up. :PPPP


What factors determine the strength of the friction force when two surfaces slide against each other ? i dont know...

Jasmine Mason said...

I think about rubbing my feet on a carpet and zapping people XD. Factors that determine when two forces slide against each other is resistance.

Mr Ruby said...

The wordIi think of is sparks!
The surfaces of the two things.The materials the two things are made of.

static friction is heavy objects and strong bonds and sliding friction is slowing down

Nick M. said...

When I think of friction, I think things heating up when rubbing against each other, or the screeching sound when planes land, or when cars stop quickly. The speed and surface determine the force of the friction.

Jewel (: said...

I Think of static electricity.what factors determine the strength of the friction force when two surfaces slide against each other the surfaces of two things and the materials the two things are made out of.

Sarah(: said...

Its determined when 2 forces slide against each other. so there are many words like spark

Rhiannon J :) said...

When I think of friction, I think of two things rubbing together. The factor determining the strength of the friction force is resistance.

Camille D :) said...

I think friction is two things rubbing together.
The factors determining the strength of the friction force is ,resistance.

The Factors of determining the strength of the friction is force and resisitance. When I think of friction i think a fraction or more like something going together.

alex pinkham said...

When i here the word friction i think of heat or electricity or static. The factors determining the strength of the friction force the the resistance. :)

Bayli L. (: said...

Ice words the best because there is no friction with the car and the ice

dr kacee said...

The ice works better then wood carpet and vinni It makes it slide

Traciee:) T said...

When I think of friction i think of force and electricity :)

Lacey A said...

Ice works better then the rest because the ice is slippery, and the tires and ice have no friction, so the car slides along the ice and makes it to the blue flag.

Eli G said...

when I hear friction I think of some one or something grinding together

emile w said...

friction is the resistance force when two objects rub together

Archer t said...

1. I think of sandpaper grinding together or something like that.
2. The smoothness, the speed.

Ian C. said...

When I think of friction I think of two things working against each other. Some factors that go into friction would be things like air resistance, roughness of the two materials, and the size and weight of the two materials.

Aaron R said...

when I think of friction I think of something rubbing together and creating heat. The factors are force and resistance

Sara H said...

When I hear friction I think of two things rubbing or grinding together.
The factors are the types of surfaces involved and how hard the surfaces push together.

mattc said...

friction is the rubbing of two things together and it causes heat

I think of rubbing your hands together and they get warm...

The strength of the force of friction depends on two factors: the types of surfaces involved and how hard the surfaces push together..

When I hear friction I think of two things rubbing together. The things that contribute to friction are size, weight, and roughness of the objects. Also air resistance.

Kasey G. said...

I think of tires rubbing against the road. Resistance is the factor that determines the strength of the friction.

Lucas T said...

I think of when you rub your hands together.

The factors are the two things that are rubbing together.

Ronahn said...

The object and the floor determine friction. I think of a hockey puck on ice compared to a driveway.

Mason B said...

1. When I hear the word friction I think of erasers.
2. A change of surface and application of more force.

Holly J said...

I think of your hands rubbing together to keep warm. Or wood rubbing wood to start a fire.
