How can nurses apply the knowledge of friction in nursing procedures?Question 13Select one:a.By increasing friction to stabilize patientsb.By ignoring the effects of frictionc.By using slippery surfaces for patientsd.By minimizing friction and irritations to patients

Depending on the situation, friction can be a help or a nuisance. Identify in which of these situations friction is considered helpful.

Friction is a force that ALWAYS acts:a) In the direction of motionb) Opposite the direction of motionc) Perpendicular to the surfaces in contactd) It depends on the materials in contact

Explain the difference between useful and unwanted friction and describe an example of each.

In which scenario would friction be considered helpful rather than a hindrance?a) Slowing down a car on a slippery roadb) Sliding down a playground slidec) Walking on a rough surface without slippingd) None of the above

Which of the following statements about friction is TRUE?A. Friction opposes motion of objects.B. Friction occurs between non-rubbing surfaces.C. Friction causes moving objects to move faster.D. Friction acts in a direction similar to the direction of an object’s motion.2. Will it be easier for a person to push a table on a carpeted floorthan on tiled floor?A. No, because the carpeted floor is rough, so friction is lesser.B. No, because the carpeted floor is rough, so friction is greater.C. Yes, because the carpeted floor is smooth, so friction is lesser.D. Yes, because the carpeted floor is smooth, so friction is greater.3. When can we say that friction on a floor is greater?A. If the floor is wet.B. If the floor is tiled.C. If the floor is rough.D. If the floor is smooth.4. Which force causes a rolling ball to stop after a few seconds?A. frictionB. gravityC. magneticD. motion5. Why is difficult to move heavy objects on a rough surface?A. rough surface is slipperyB. there is no friction on a rough surfaceC. there is lesser friction on a rough surfaceD. there is greater friction on a rough surface6. When you are travelling along a road, how does the wet road affect friction?A. It increases friction.B. It decreases friction.C. It maintains friction.D. It increases and decreases friction.What I Know
