Start your engines: it’s time for a ramp race! 🏁
Wax or wood – which surface will win? Find out by watching today’s episode of Science Shorts!
To demonstrate the concept of friction (which is described as a force that opposes motion) the experiment in this segment will involve blocks sliding down ramps, each with a different surface roughness. Watch for an explanation of friction on each surface, and root for the ramp of your choice!
And stay tuned to find out what would happen if friction didn’t exist (hint: you may have experienced this on an icy sidewalk in the winter!).
