What is the pattern of motion of a jump rope when used correctly?

Back

The jump rope moves in a circular pattern around the person using it.

Front

What role does air play in air hockey?

Back

Air reduces friction in air hockey, allowing the puck to glide smoothly.

Front

Define friction in the context of motion.

Back

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

Front

What factors affect the amount of friction between two surfaces?

Back

The amount of friction is affected by the types of surfaces in contact and the force pressing them together.

Front

Explain the relationship between motion patterns and predictions.

Back

Understanding motion patterns allows us to predict future movements and behaviors of objects.

Front

What is kinetic friction?

Back

Kinetic friction is the frictional force that opposes the motion of two surfaces sliding past each other.

Front

What is static friction?

Back

Static friction is the frictional force that prevents two surfaces from sliding past each other when at rest.
