Gravity pulls all objects toward the center of the Earth, causing things like pencils to fall when dropped. Friction is the force that resists the relative motion of objects in contact and can cause heat, as when rubbing hands together. Friction in car brakes and tires helps slow and stop vehicles safely. The document discusses gravity and friction, provides examples of each including falling objects and braking in cars, and asks questions to check understanding.
