Use a complete sentence to explain how FRICTION affects how far the different objects moved.

Reset the simulation by clicking the orange arrow and then add an object, start pushing on the object but don't make it move.

Before the object starts to move the FRICTION force and the APPLIED force are _________

Reset the simulation by clicking the orange arrow and then add an object, start pushing on the object until it starts to move

After the object starts to move the FRICTION force and the APPLIED force are _________

Use a complete sentence to predict how much force it will take to move the box.

Use a complete sentence to explain what the actual force that moved the box was.

Use a complete sentence to predict how much force it will take to move the boxes.

Use a complete sentence to explain what the actual force that moved the boxes was.

What happened to the force required to move the box when you increased the friction? (Move the friction slider to the right)

What happened to the force required to move the box when you decreased the friction? (Move the friction slider to the right)

Friction affects how much force it takes to move an object

To make an object move the forces had to be unbalanced. Compare the FRICTION force to the APPLIED force when an object is moving.
