Notes Topic 2

Forces are pushes or pulls that cannot be seen but their effects can be felt. Forces can start or stop motion, change the speed or direction of moving objects, and change the shape of objects by squeezing, stretching, bending, twisting or squashing them. Friction is a force that opposes motion, produces heat, causes wear and tear, and slows down and stops moving objects. The amount of friction depends on the condition and type of surfaces and the weight of an object, and it can be reduced by using rollers, marbles, oil, wax or smoothing surfaces.
