Jonathan wants to investigate the effect that friction has on the amount of force needed to pull an object over surfaces with di
fferent textures. For his test, he gathers the following materials:
• A 1-kilogram wooden board
• A1-meter length of string
A spring scale
• 1 sheet each of felt, construction paper, coarse sandpaper, and wax paper
• 1 roll of masking tape
Jonathan ties one end of the string around the board and the other end to the hook of the spring scale. He tapes the felt, construction paper,
sandpaper, and wax paper side by side on a tabletop. Then he slowly pulls the board across each of the four different surfaces, one surface at
a time. He records the amount of force it takes to move the board over each surface. Which surface would require the least force to move the
board?
O A. Coarse sandpaper
O B. Construction paper
OC. Felt
O D. Wax paper
