Unit 5 Part 2

In part 2 of Unit 5, we learned about forces. For objects at equilibrium which means that the object is not accelerating, what ever force is being applied to the object, theres an equal and opposite force being applied. Using examples such as a desk being pulled in one direction, we could find the force of friction acting in the opposite direction based on how hard you're pulling the desk. We also learned about how important the force of friction is. In the pictures below, you can see that the first picture shows how with a lot of friction, it makes it difficult to slide across the surface, but in the second picture, we see that by adding soap and water, we reduce friction making it easier to slide across the surface.
