2. stops a moving Advantages Disadvantages
object 1. prevents slipping and 1. causes the surface of an object to wear
3. changes the skidding out
direction of a 2. stops or slows motion 2. more energy needed/objects are hard
moving object 3. allow us to walk and run to move
4. makes an object 4. keep the position of an
move faster or
slower Increasing
5. changes the Reducing 1. patterns on the surface of tyres and
1. used rollers or ball bearing on the soles of shoes
2. used oil, grease, wax, air cushion, 2. rubber mats are placed in toilets
talcum powder 3. road are made with rough surfaces
3. aerodynamic shape
