AP Physics 1, Big Idea 3, Investigation 4
In many physics force and motion problems, friction is often minimized or even ignored. In the real world, there are many practical applications that are used to increase or decrease friction, depending on the desired results. The purpose of this advanced-inquiry lab is to design a procedure to identify the physical variables that affect the force of friction between two objects.
The lab begins with an introductory activity to determine the coefficient of static and kinetic friction between a wood block and a tabletop. Students create and use free-body diagrams to analyze each situation. The procedure provides a model for the guided-inquiry activity, during which students design and carry out experiments to determine variables that influence frictional forces between surfaces.
FLINNprep is just one of the powerful learning pathways accessed via PAVO, Flinn’s award-winning gateway to standards-aligned digital science content paired with hands-on learning.
Complete for 24 students working in groups of three. All materials are reusable.
