7.1 Reading of spring balance is the magnitude of frictional force.
7.2 The reading of spring balance just before/ when object starts to move
represents the maximum magnitude of friction that acts on object.
C1-3
7.3 Yes, the different types of surfaces affect the magnitude of frictional force.
8.0 DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
8.1 a) i) The surface of sandpaper gives the greatest magnitude of friction.
ii) The oily surface gives the lowest magnitude of friction
b) i) The rough surface increases the frictional force on the wooden block.
ii) The smooth surface decreases the frictional force on the wooden block
C8-3
8.2 a) Frictional force is the reading of spring balance when the wooden
block is pulled on the surface.
b) Frictional force varies with / depends on the types of surfaces.
8.2 a) The types of surface influences the magnitude of frictional force
b) We can reduce friction by putting oil/grease/aluminium foil on the surface
of table.
9.0 CONCLUSION :
Different types of surfaces can change the magnitude of frictional force.
