Friction & Motion Virtual Lab — PhET Forces Simulation
Lab Title: Investigating Motion and Friction with PhET Introduction/Background When you push a skateboard, pull a sled, or slide a chair, you’re interacting with a force called friction. Friction is the force that opposes motion when two surfaces come into contact. Without it, walking would be like sliding on ice, and stopping a car would be impossible! Friction occurs because no surface is perfectly smooth. When two objects touch, tiny bumps and ridges on their surfaces catch on each other. Th
