Static Friction Static friction is caused by the interaction of the surface of the object and the surface the object is sitting on. Once static friction is overcome, the sliding and rolling friction begin and are usually less than the static friction. Instructions: Create an experiment that will show how the static friction changes with changes in texture and weight. Write your procedure, results, and conclusion on a separate sheet of paper. Fluid Friction: Gases and water are both considered fluids because they both create resistance on objects that are moving through them. Instructions: Create an experiment that will show how fluid friction changes with changes in an objects size and shape. Write your procedure, results, and conclusion on a separate sheet of paper. Lab Summary How does understanding friction forces make space exploration possible?
