Friction Experiment: Rice in a Bottle
We are exploring friction with this simple science experiment. Max put raw rice inside a bottle and taped it against the table, the rice settled, reducing air pockets between each grain. So much so that when Max pushed a wooden spoon...

Why Is Static Friction Greater Than Kinetic Friction?
Friction is the resistance that one object or surface experiences when moving over another object or surface. The two types of friction that come into play when moving two objects against one another are static and kinetic. Static...

Friction and Heat - Science of Speed
Friction always creates heat. Brakes and tires depend on friction to work, but more friction isn't always better. In the engine, friction is never good and engine builders use everything from oil to high-tech coatings to get a little...

Friction intuition animation
The maximum friction force when stationary is equal to UsN. The friction force when moving is UkN. This is always constant. In almost all cases, Us is greater than Uk (as expected). Wheels undergoing pure roll always experience static...

Separating Notebooks
We interleave the pages of notebooks to see how hard it is to pull them apart. As the amount of interleaving increases, we see that the force required to separate them also increases. This is because the friction between the notebooks is...
