Advanced Science Primary 6 Interactions

Jun Jie tested three different surfaces by sliding a block down a ramp. He measured the time taken for the block to reach the bottom. Which surface resulted in the longest time?

A Surface B (Sandpaper)
B All surfaces had the same time
C Surface A (Glass)
D Surface C (Plastic)
Show Worked Solution

Worked Solution

Step 1: Friction opposes the motion of the block sliding down. Step [2-9]: Higher friction results in a slower speed and a longer time to travel. Step [2-9]: Sandpaper is the roughest surface with the highest friction.

Correct answer: Surface B (Sandpaper)
