Forces are pushes or pulls that cannot be seen but their effects can be felt. Forces can start or stop motion, change the speed or direction of moving objects, and change the shape of objects by squeezing, stretching, bending, twisting or squashing them. Friction is a force that opposes motion, produces heat, causes wear and tear, and slows down and stops moving objects. The amount of friction depends on the condition and type of surfaces and the weight of an object, and it can be reduced by using rollers, marbles, oil, wax or smoothing surfaces.

CONCEPT A push or a pull Cannot be seen but the effects can be felt
Can move a stationary object
Stops a moving object
Changes the Changes the direction of a moving object EFFECTS motion of an object Makes an object move faster or slower
Changes the An object become squeezed, stretched, bent,
shapes of an twisted or squashed object
Effects of friction Produces heat
Opposes motion Causes wear and tear Slows down and stops a moving object FRICTION Factors that Condition of the surface affect friction Weight of the object
Advantages Disadvantages
Ways to reduce Use rollers or marbles Use oil, wax,
friction grease, talcum Smoothen surfaces powder, air cushion
