Question

If you push a cement brick and an ice block across a table with the same strength, which will travel further? Why? Explain which one would slide further.

Answer 1

An ice block will go further because there is less friction between the table and the ice. The brick has more friction, weight, and a gritty texture, so it won't make it as far. As for the ice block has less friction, a smoother surface, and a smoother texture which makes it have less friction.
