A. Multiple Choice. Encircle the letter that 7. If the weight on the block is increased, the
corresponds to the best answer. frictional force will:
a) decrease proportionally
1. Which type of friction is greater when b) increase proportionally
moving a wooden block on a surface? c) remain the same
a) static friction d) depends on the angle of the surface
b) kinetic friction 8. Which of the following best describes kinetic
c) both are equal friction?
d) depends on the angle of the inclination a) The friction that resists the start of motion
2. If you add weight to the block, what b) The friction that resists an object already in
happens to the normal force? motion
a) It decreases c) The frictional force that is absent when an
b) It increases object is moving
c) It remains the same d) The friction that changes based on speed
d) It becomes zero
3. When the block is pulled to start moving, B. True or False. Write T if the statement is True
the spring scale measures the _____________. and F if the statement is false.
a) kinetic friction ____1. Increasing the surface area of contact
b) static friction between the block and the board will increase the
c) normal force frictional force required to move the block.
d) angle of repose ____2. The limiting angle of repose is the angle
4. The angle of repose can best be described as: at which an object is about to slide due to gravity.
a) the angle at which an object falls off the ____3. The frictional force depends on both the
surface normal force and the types of materials in
b) the angle at which an object begins to contact.
slide ____4. Frictional force always opposes the
c) the angle required to maintain a constant direction of motion.
speed ____5. Kinetic friction acts only when the object
d) the angle where normal force equals zero is accelerating.
5. Which device in the experiment is used to ____6. The frictional force is independent of the
measure force? surface roughness.
a) protractor ____7. The frictional force needed to maintain
b) spring scale constant speed down a slope is less than the force
c) weighing balance required to initiate movement down the same
d) hook slope.
6. The purpose of using a protractor in this ____8. Static friction varies based on the applied
activity is to: force up until a certain maximum threshold.
a) measure the area of the block
b) determine the angle of inclination
c) calculate the frictional force
d) record the weight of the block
