Velocity = 2 mi/hr What is the Net Force? 50 lbs ZERO! THERE IS NO ACCELERATION FfFf
FRICTION Weight What direction does the FORCE of FRICTION act? Normal Force
Force of Friction = μ · Normal Force F f = μ · F N FRICTION Weight μ is the coefficient of friction! Normal Force
Force of Friction Normal Force Coefficient of Friction Glass on Glass (1.0) Brake Material on Iron (0.4) Swiss Wax on Dry Snow (.03)
F f = μ · F N FfFf Car
F f = μ · F N Increase Normal Force… Increases the Friction Force!
F f = μ · F N Increase μ … Increases F f …
F f = μ · F N Decrease Normal Force…Decreases Force of Friction!!!
F f = μ · F N Decrease μ … Decrease Force of Friction!!!
F f = μ · F N How can a climber just stand there like that without using their arms?
FwFw FxFx FyFy The normal force [F N ] is always perpendicular to the surface it acts on! FNFN

Force of Friction Pull on String Static Friction Kinetic Friction Break Free of Static Friction Dynamics of Friction
Friction Pull μ static > μ kinetic
Air Resistance is a function of Cross Sectional Surface Area and Velocity
Weight Air Resistance Net Force Weight Air Resistance Net Force
