Patterns of Motion & Friction

Front

What is resistance to motion called?

Back

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

Front

What is the pattern of motion of a jump rope when swung?

Back

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

Front

What is used to reduce friction on a bowling alley lane?

Back

Oil is used to coat the bowling alley lane to reduce friction.

Front

What is the purpose of air in air hockey?

Back

The air reduces friction between the puck and the table, allowing it to glide smoothly.

Front

Which pendulum swings the fastest?

Back

The shortest pendulum swings the fastest due to its shorter distance to travel.

Front

What is motion?

Back

Motion is the change in position of an object over time.

Front

What is a pattern of motion?

Back

A pattern of motion is a repeated movement that follows a specific path.

Front

What does friction do to moving objects?

Back

Friction slows down moving objects and can stop them.

Front

What is viscosity?

Back

Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow.

Front

How does surface texture affect friction?

Back

Rough surfaces create more friction than smooth surfaces.
