     • Friction always works in the direction opposite to the direction in which the object is moving, or trying to move. Friction always slows a moving object down. The amount of friction depends on the materials from which the two surfaces are made. The rougher the surface, the more friction is produced. Friction also produces heat.

   How does friction affect a moving object?

   • Friction is a force between two surfaces that are sliding, or trying to slide, across each other. For example, when you try to push a book along the floor, friction makes this difficult. Friction always works in the direction opposite to the direction in which the object is moving, or trying to move. Friction always slows a moving object down.

   What is an example of friction?

   • For example, when you try to push a box along the floor, friction makes it difficult. Friction is a force that resists the movement of objects past each other. Friction always works in the opposite direction to the direction the object is moving. Friction always slows or stops a moving object. It can also prevent objects from moving.

   Why is friction important?

   • The friction from water resistance can make it difficult to walk through water. Friction can be both a helpful and unhelpful force. Friction between our shoes and the floor stop us from slipping. Friction between tyres and the road stop cars from skidding. Friction between brake blocks and a wheel lets a cyclist stop their bike.
