Friction

Question 2 • Mad 2017 Phy Sci B -33 SS

Which factors affect friction between two solid surfaces? Select two options.

Answer
A
the weight of the objects
B
the surface area of the objects
C
the shape of the objects
D
the roughness of the objects’ surfaces

Explanation

Friction depends on how strongly the surfaces are pressed together and on how rough the surfaces are. A greater weight usually presses the objects together more, increasing friction, while rougher surfaces generally create more friction. Surface area and shape do not determine friction in the basic model for solid surfaces.
