Friction is the force you get when you (for example) Rub something with another, it's a force that may generate heat and even some resistance. Another example is rubbing your hands together, they get hot, therefore friction is working, without friction you wouldn't be able to stop moving.

Friction is the resistance of mass when on another object.
If we avoid friction, we move faster.
But, in some cases, friction is also good. It is used in car brakes, when something rubs on the wheels to make the wheels stop rolling, or rotating.
Ice skates may be another thing. They provide a little friction on the blades, to be able to stop and to be able to move.

1. Which of the following statements best describes matter?
Rashid [163]

Answer:

Matter is anything that has mass

Explanation:

The word "matter" refers to anything that has mass, either organic or inorganic. Matter is made up of atoms, which consists of a nucleus (made up of protons, positively charged, and neutrons, electrically neutron) and electrons which revolve around the nucleus.

The number of protons in the atom determine the element: there are more than 100 different elements in nature, with different properties depending on the number of electrons they have.

Matter can be in three different states also:

- solid: the atoms are tightly bond to each other, so they cannot move

- liquids: atoms are not bond to each other, so they can slide past each other, but still they have some intermolecular forces that keep them close to each other

- gas: atoms are free to move, as there are no forces that keep them close to each other
