What type of surfaces increased friction in this lab? : Rubber , Sanct Paper > What do these surfaces have in common? beth are rough 7 shcky 2. List 3 ways friction can be reduced. a less force (weight) between surkices b. Smooth the surfree uv & use of lubricants ball bearinas 3. List 3 ways friction can be increased. a. More force (weight) behuen surfaces b. rough +he surface « Do lubricant ~ no ball earinas > 4. How does the weight of the friction block affect the force needed to overcome the amount of static friction? Explain, using data from the data table as evidence. As weight increased on the triction block more Force yas Required +o overcome stare friction . Fer examole. 5.
