Question 1: How does the video define friction?
A force that always makes objects move faster
A force that opposes motion when surfaces rub together
A type of magnetic attraction between objects
A push that only works in the air
Question 2: Which type of friction keeps a heavy box from moving when you first push it?
Vacuum friction
Magnetic friction
Rolling friction
Static friction
Question 3: Why does a skateboard usually glide more easily than sliding an object across the same surface?
Skateboards use magnetic levitation by default
Rolling friction is smaller than sliding friction
Skateboards increase surface roughness to grip better
Skateboards create extra heat that reduces friction
Question 4: Which factor mentioned in the video increases friction between two surfaces?
Reducing the material contact area always
Adding a lubricant between surfaces
Lower surface texture
Greater force pressing the surfaces together
Question 5: According to the video, what simple household action shows friction converting motion into heat?
Rubbing your hands together vigorously
Putting hands in cold water
Holding a metal spoon still
Blowing on cold hands to warm them
Question 6: Which method did the video suggest to reduce friction on a bicycle chain?
Use lubricants like oil or grease
Remove all wheels from the bicycle
Increase the force pressing the chain links
Make the chain surface rougher
Question 7: The video mentions friction still exists in space between object surfaces. What term or concept does it describe for that interaction?
Air drag
Dry friction or surface adhesion
Electromagnetic levitation
Gravitational friction
