Standard Science Primary 6 Interactions

Siti pushed a wooden block across four different surfaces with the same amount of force. The distance the block travelled is shown in the table. Which surface likely has the LEAST frictional force?

A Surface C (5 cm)
B Surface B (45 cm)
C Surface D (22 cm)
D Surface A (10 cm)
Show Worked Solution

Worked Solution

Step 1: Friction opposes motion. Step 2: Less friction means the block will travel a longer distance before stopping. Step 3: Surface B allowed the block to travel the furthest (45 cm). Step 4: Therefore, Surface B has the least frictional force.

Correct answer: Surface B (45 cm)
