APPLICATION OF

FRICTIONAL FORCE

SH.EFFASH.EFFA

LEARNING OUTCOMES:At the end of this lesson, students will be able to:• Explain with examples the existance of

frictional force.• State the direction of frictional force.• Carry out an experiment (simulation) to

show how different types of surfaces affect frictional force.

• Explain the advantages and disadvantages of friction.

What is Friction?

SH.EFFASH.EFFA

• Friction is a force between two surfaces that are sliding and they must in contact with each other.

• Examples: – The tyre of the lorry

is in contact with the road.

SH.EFFASH.EFFA

• Friction always works in the opposite direction from the direction of the moving object.

• Can slows a movingobject down

Friction depends on…

Roughness of the surfacesForce that objects are being pressed one against the other

or Weights of the objects
