AN INVESTIGATION INTO FRICTIONAL FORCE

You should have made a friction cube, with 4 different surfaces. Now you will investigate and
present a piece of research, using the friction cube.

Here are some possibilities:

1. Investigate the different frictional forces on each of the 4 sides of the cube.
2. Investigate how the frictional forces differ when different masses are added on to the cube.
3. Investigate how an incline affects frictional force.

You must:

1. PLAN the investigation.

2. CONDUCT the investigation
3. CONCLUDE the investigation with:
a. A table of results
b. A graph
c. A conclusion and justification
d. An evaluation, with recommendations
