C. Analysis

Different types of motion of the object gives

rise to different types of friction. Generally,
there are 4 types of friction. They are static
friction, sliding friction, rolling friction, and
fluid friction. The next sections will explore
these forces and when they are applied.

A. Static Friction
Static friction exists between a stationary
object and the surface on which it is resting.
It prevents an object from moving against the
surface.

Example: Static friction prevents an object

like a book from falling off the desk, even if
the desk is slightly tilted. It helps us pick up
an object without it slipping through our
fingers.

When we want to move an object first we

must overcome the static friction acting
 between the object and the surface on which
the object is resting.

B. Sliding friction occurs between objects as

they slide against each other.

When sliding friction is acting there must be

another force existing to keep the body
moving.

Example: When a man is pushing an object

on a rough surface the force acting is called
"sliding friction".
C. Fluid Friction
Here on Earth we tend to take air resistance
(aka.“drag”) for granted. We just assume that
when we throw a ball, launch an aircraft,
deorbit a spacecraft, or fire a bullet from a
gun, that the act of it traveling through our
atmosphere will naturally slow it down. But
what is the reason for this? Just how is air
able to slow an object down, whether it is in
free-fall or in flight? Air friction is experienced
by the objects moving through the open air.
Air friction acts between the object and the
air through which it is moving. It is also called
drag. This force depends upon the object's
shape, material, speed with which it is
moving and the viscosity of the fluid.
Viscosity is the measure of the resistance of
the air to flow and it differs from one density
to another.

Example: It slowdowns the motion of airplane

flying in the air, here the engine of the
airplane helps the plane to overcome the
fluid friction and move forward.
D. Rolling Friction
It is the friction that acts on objects when
they are rolling over a surface. It is much
weaker than sliding friction or static friction.
This explains why most forms of ground
transportation use wheels, including bicycles,
cars, 4-wheelers, roller skates, scooters, and
skateboards. For example: The ball bearings
in this wheel reduce friction between the
inner and outer cylinders when they turn.

D. Abstraction
Classify the following activities into four types
of friction

Static Sliding Rolling Fluid

a. Papers on the table

b. A boy riding on a bicycle
c. Towel hanging on the rack
d. A car running
e. Rubbing one’s hand
f. A car skidding as it turns a corner.
g. Writing a letter
h. A person swimming in the water.
i. The flow of water when it is sucked
through a straw.
j. A ship sailing on the water.
k. Soccer ball
l. Car tires
m. A boy riding a skate board

(Showing real objects) e.g. Shoes, slippers,
stones,etc.
Identify each object if it creates frictional force or not.
C. Activity:
Group Activities
Setting the standards in doing group
activities.
Presenting safety precautions while doing the
activities.
 Group 1 – Manipulating Object
Procedures: Choose an object inside the
box. Illustrate or show to class how the object
creates frictional force.

Group 2- Act it out

Procedures: Choose a partner. Walk around
your classroom with a partner and list down 5
to 10 pairs of objects display in the room.
Then, make actions on how the objects can
make frictional forces.

Group 3- Making Poster

Procedure: Make a poster on the different
ways wherein you use or feel friction.
D. Analysis:
1. How did you feel in doing the
experiment?
2.What are the different forces that
you applied to move the books?
3.What happened to the books after
you pushed it on tiles or floor? Does it move
fast? Why?
4.How about on the carpet, what have you
observed when you pushed the books on it?
5. When you pulled the textbook towards
you, you could feel a force opposing you?
What force do you think is pushing against
the book as you pulled it?
6. What will happen if you double the
weight by stacking one book on top of the
other? How does the surface affect the
frictional force?
