Forces and Motion using PhET’s Force and Motion Basics HTML5 Part 2 – Friction With Answers. Forces and Motion using PhET’s Force and Motion Basics HTML5 Part 2 – Friction Name-__Hannah Hinton__ Learning Objectives: Students will be able to  Predict how forces can change motion.  Provide reasoning and evidence to explain motion changing or not. 1. Open the Forces and Motion Basics simulation and play with the Friction screen for a few minutes. a. How does the Friction screen differ from the Net Force and Motion screens? The friction screen is what shows you the direction of the force being applied, and the way that it is being pushed or pulled according to the Newtons applied. b. Also, what is something new you discovered? I discovered that the friction force is always the opposite direction of the force that is being applied. This example is represented in the Friction screen. 2. Imagine that your friend, Sam is trying to move a box. a. Using what you learned by exploring, try drawing arrows to predict what might happen in the pictures below. (Try this part without using the simulation.) Sam not pushing Sam pushing but box not moving Sam pushing and box moving 1 This study source was downloaded by from CourseH on 02-21-2023 23:03:09 GMT -06:00 Forces and Motion using PhET’s Force and Motion Basics HTML5 Part 2 – Friction b. Check your sketches using the sim and make corrections if needed. List any new ideas you discovered. Sam is not pushing- no Newtons applied Sam is pushing but box isn’t moving- 50 Newtons of applied force, and friction force are the same Sam pushing and box is moving- applied force is greater than friction force, which causes the box to move forward.
