What kind of floor do ballet dancers usually perform on?
Possible Answer: Shine and Smooth
When you do activities, force and motion are always involved. The
kind of force that helps the runners and the ballet dancer is called FRICTION
Let us perform the activities in the different stations below to learn more about
friction.
Class in performing the activity you have to bear in mind
Activity 29 Moving on Different Surfaces
Divide the group into 4 with 5 members. Before giving the activity the
pupils reminding about the norms and safety measures in doing the
activity.
Let’s find out: How does friction affect the motion of objects?
Let’s do this way:
1. Set the ramp with one side higher.
2. Cover the other side of the ramp with wax paper. This is your smooth
surface.
3. Cover the other side of the ramp with sand paper. This is your rough
surface
4. Set the block of wood at the lower end of the ramp in the smooth surface.
5. Hook the spring balance to the block of wood.
6. Pull the spring balance slowly. Take note of the reading on the spring
balance just before the block moves. Record your reading.
7. Repeat numbers 4-6 on the rough surface.
8. Compare the data gathered.

Activity 30 Measuring Distance of a Moving Object
Let’s find out: How does friction affect the distance travelled by a moving object?
Let’s do this way:
1. Look for a smooth floor ( i.e school gymnasium). Draw a starting line.
2. From the starting line, roll the ball gently. Make sure that the ball will not
hit any object while rolling.
3. Use the stopwatch to get the time the ball starts rolling until it stops.
Record this on the table.
4. Observe if there is a change in the ball’s speed.
5. Measure the distance travelled by the ball using your meter stick. Record
this on the table below
6. Repeat the procedure. Have at least two more trials. Be sure to apply the
same amount of force
7. Compute for the average distance and average time
8. Look for a rough ground.
9. Do the same procedures as yo have done in the smooth surface. Be sure
to apply the same amount of force.
10. Compare your data

Possible Answer: The rough surface because it has irregularities that
produce friction when in contact with the wood that causes difficulty in
moving.
3. In which surface does the block of wood move easily or fast?
Possible Answer: Smooth surface
For Activity 30
Frictions is useful in our daily activities. Without friction, you cannot walk or
run without sliding or slipping down. Footwear helps you overcome the effect
Elaborate of smooth surface. Athletes in the running event or ball games like basketball,
( 15 minutes) for example wear rubber shoes rather than leather shoes because besides
having lighter weight, the sole of rubber shoes have jagged edges that
produce more friction that keeps them from slipping down and makes them

apply more force to speed up. On the other hand, ballet dancers need less
friction to be able to glide and dance smoothly. They wear ballet shoes rather
than rubber shoes because the sole of the ballet shoes have less irregularity
that produces less friction when in contact with the smooth floor that keeps the
ballet dancer glide, slide and dance smoothly.
Are you familiar with these signs? Where can you find these signs?
SCHOOL 60kph
ZONE 10 kph MINIMUM
SPEED
These signs require a certain speed in certain limits. Speed limits require
vehicles to travel at a certain speed. School zones, church areas, market
places require lower speed limits.
Vehicles have rolling friction and tend to move fast if not controlled. That is
why every vehicle has a brakes, a device that shows down a rotating wheel.
Brakes used in bicycles, automobiles, truct , and buses use friction between
the wheels and another object to slow the motion of the vehicle.
Quiz No. 1

answer.

II. To prevent the parts to move fast
III. To protect the parts from wearing down
IV. To make the parts move slowly
a. I,II
b. I,III
c. II,III
d. IIII,IV
5. Which shows that more friction is useful?
a. Wheels of cars have jagged surface
b. Bowling lane is smooth
c. Heavy appliances have rollers
d. Slides have smooth surface
Learning Describe how you can overcome the effects of friction in the following:
Enablement
1. You are a scientist and you are inventing a robot garbage collector, which
can move from one house to another using a remote control. What will
you put to ease the movement of your robot?
