Spend minutes completing the activity regarding friction.
Support force against weight of an object If more force is applied in the same direction as gravity (and the surface doesn’t break), the surface will provide more normal force to balance the net force.
What is the normal force? ◦ Angle = 30° ◦ W = 100 ◦ F = 10
Static Friction ◦ Friction between the surface and an object at rest Kinetic Friction ◦ Friction between the surface and a moving object
Strength of the maximum friction depends on… ◦ The “roughness” of the two materials ( ) ◦ Normal force supporting the object (How closely pressed the two objects are) (F N ) f k = kinetic friction force, = coefficient of friction, F N = Normal Force
The maximum static friction is the maximum limit of friction force the two objects can have before moving.
