Science Project on “Effects of Friction”, Project Experiment Topics on Flight, Motion & Friction for Class 8, 9, 10 and 12 Students.
Effects of Friction
Materials Required:
- Paper and Pencil
Erosion is caused by moving water, glacier and winds. Apart from it, things can be worn out by friction force too.
When you rub two materials against each other, the traction from it can wear them out. Look around you to find some proof of wear and tear. Make a chart of things in your neighbourhood or school and find the cause of wear in them.
You can take a close look at the steps outside a building. Is there any corrosion on the part, where people usually walk?
Can you conclude that the wear is caused by the friction of people’s shoes on the steps? Similarly, you can look for signs of wear in places which is a common path.
For instance, you can check on hand railings, carpets, door knobs in public houses, car tires or a dirt path, where the grass is worn away by foot traffic. Is there an archway made into the ground, where the gate swings back and forth?
You can do a report on ‘wear’ and study it with your classmates.
