Why is walking on rough pavement easier
than on wet, slippery surfaces?
Friction creates heat and
even fire! Rubbing sticks together
is a traditional fire-starting technique
used by early human civilisations.

FAQs on PPT Friction - Science Class 8

1. What is friction?
Ans. Friction is the force that resists the relative motion or tendency of such motion of two surfaces in contact.
2. What are the factors that affect friction?
Ans. The factors that affect friction include the nature of the surfaces in contact, the force pressing the surfaces together, and the smoothness of the surfaces.
3. How does friction affect motion?
Ans. Friction can either help or hinder motion. It can help by providing traction for walking or driving, but it can also hinder motion by causing objects to slow down or stop.
4. How can friction be reduced?
Ans. Friction can be reduced by using lubricants, polishing surfaces to make them smoother, or using ball bearings to reduce the contact area between surfaces.
5. What are the different types of friction?
Ans. The three main types of friction are static friction (friction between stationary objects), kinetic friction (friction between moving objects), and rolling friction (friction between a rolling object and a surface).
