Friction

Question 3 • Mad 2017 Phy Sci B -33 SS

Which of these actions will increase friction? Select three options.

Answer
A
scratching a surface to make it rougher
B
polishing a surface to make it smoother
C
increasing the size of a flying object
D
adding extra weight to an object
E
placing oil between two surfaces

Explanation

Rougher surfaces generally create more friction, so scratching a surface increases it. A larger flying object experiences more air resistance, and adding weight increases the force pressing surfaces together, which can increase friction. Polishing makes a surface smoother, while oil lubricates surfaces; both tend to reduce friction.
