Friction – A force which resists movement Can you think of two effects of Friction? • Solve the anagrams… • TEENAGERS heat • wears away FUSESCAR Generates heat Wears away surfaces Friction – A force which resists movement, but is also really useful to control movement too. Think of trying to move on ice…
