🛑 Friction and Resistance
Learn how friction works as a force that slows down and stops movement! This quiz explores rough and smooth surfaces, how friction affects everyday activities, and why objects move differently on different materials. **What you'll learn:** - Friction is a force that slows down or stops movement - Rough surfaces create more friction than smooth surfaces - Friction occurs whenever two objects rub against each other - Friction affects activities like sliding, rolling, and walking - Different surfaces change how objects move
