Ravi released a block from the top of a ramp. He observed the distance moved by the block on four different surfaces. Which surface likely exerted the GREATEST frictional force?

A Surface D: Block moved 34cm
B Surface B: Block moved 12cm
C Surface A: Block moved 50cm
D Surface C: Block moved 85cm

Worked Solution

Step 1: Understand that frictional force opposes motion. Step [2-9]: A higher frictional force results in the block stopping sooner (shorter distance). Step [2-9]: Surface B resulted in the shortest distance (12cm), meaning it had the highest friction.

Correct answer: Surface B: Block moved 12cm
