      • When two surfaces rub against each other, they create friction. For example, when you try to push a box along the floor, friction makes it difficult. Friction is a force that resists the movement of objects past each other. Friction always works in the opposite direction to the direction the object is moving.

  1. Friction occurs between all types of matter—liquids, gases, and solids. For example, air resistance is a type of friction that occurs between a moving object and air. It slows down the movement of the object, but it can be reduced by changing the design of the object. This is called streamlining.
