Investigation: Factors Affecting Friction
Design and complete an investigation to determine how the following factors affect the force of friction:
-Wieght
- Surface Area
-Speed
You will need to measure the magnitude of the force of friction. Since the magnitude of the force that is provided by an elastic band is directly related to the distance the elastic band is stretched, it is apropriate to substitude the distance strecthed for the force. You will need objects with identical masses, whose surface area can be easily altered (such as a tissue box). Remember that regardless of what velocity you choose, you must try to keep it as constant as possible.
WAT! lol please explain to me what all this means and give me a detailed plan of what i need to do to accomplish this task THANKS
