What is friction?

• A force that pulls objects toward the Earth

• A force that increases motion between two objects

• A force that opposes motion when two objects are touching one another

• A force that allows objects to move without any resistance

What is friction primarily responsible for when a person pushes a box to slide it across the floor?

• Causing the box to move in the direction of the push

• Keeping the box from sliding across the floor

• Increasing the speed of the box as it moves

• Changing the direction of the box's movement

How can friction be reduced between two surfaces?

• By increasing the weight of the objects

• By heating the surfaces of the objects

• By smoothing the surfaces of the objects in contact

• By applying more force to the objects
