Learning Task 6:
Study the following situations and answer the question for each. Remember what you have learned about
gravity and friction. Write your explanations on the space provided.
1. Place a book on top of a table. What keeps the book from falling? How is this possible?
2. Roll a marble on top of a level surface. Make it stop. Slide a light book on top of the same level surface
by giving it an initial push. Did the book continue to slide? What is responsible for making the sliding
book slow down and eventually stop?
3. Drop a small stone and a piece of paper from the same height at the same time. Observe closely the
motion of the stone and the paper as they fall. Which of them reached the ground first? Why did not

Gravity pulls the object down (Book), but it doesn't fall down. Therefore there has to be some force that also pushes the book up which is the table.

2:

The book did not continue to slide.

Friction is responsible for letting the sliding book slow down which lead it to stop.

3:

Due to air resistance, the stone will fall faster than the piece of paper.

Explanation:

You need to follow or something for me hehe
