In this kinetic energy worksheet, students solve six problems including finding work, determining kinetic energy, finding the coefficient of kinetic friction and finding work done on objects by air resistance and friction.

Young scholars investigate the effect of weight on normal friction or the friction due to surface roughness. They tell about the effects of contact area that occurs as a result of molecular attraction by looking at data on line graphs.

Students work in groups to conduct experiments the demonstrate the differences between static and kinetic friction. They consider how friction affects us in our everyday lives, determine the effects of weight on friction and complete a...

In this power worksheet, 12th graders solve four problems including calculating work done by friction, determining work done by gravity and the calculating the minimum horsepower needed to save a ship that is sinking.

Pupils investigate coefficient of friction with respect to surface area and applied force in contact with the sliding force.

Students measure frictional force existing between a moving cup and the surface it slides on. They conduct the experiment and answer discussion questions.

What is friction? Illustrated discussion of friction including the three types, its importance, and why it is avoided.
