This Rolling Friction Car Set provides four cars for the exploration into the force of friction.

Each car provides a set of different material wheels (wood, fabric, soft rubber, soft silicone) with a different friction coefficient.

By setting the cars in motion with equivalent velocities, one can qualitatively demonstrate the frictional properties of rolling without slipping.

  • Key Stage 3 Physics - Motion and Forces: Forces: associated with deforming objects; stretching and squashing – springs; with rubbing and friction between surfaces, with pushing things out of the way; resistance to motion of air and water.
  • Key Stage 4 Physics - Forces and Motion: Identify forces between solid objects which stretch, compress, bend, and turn, or affect movement. Explain that frictional forces affect movement and depend on the properties of the surfaces involved.
