FRICTION
FRICTION A force that resists motion (or tendency to move) between two objects in contact
The materials in contact The normal force Depends on 2 factors The materials in contact The normal force
Draw in the friction vector. Ff

Static friction force A force is applied but the object doesn’t move No motion = net force = 0 The friction force is in the opposite direction of the applied force Size of friction _______ the applied force
Static Friction FN Ff FA FW Net Force = Zero
Kinetic friction force Kinetic means : force is applied and the object moves but friction slows it down The friction force is in opposite direction to the motion The friction force is smaller than the applied force
Kinetic Friction Accelerating FN Ff FA FW Net Force ≠ Zero
Kinetic Friction Constant Velocity FN Ff FA FW Net Force = Zero
on a horizontal surface Friction equation Ff = μ FN FN =FW on a horizontal surface
Coefficients of Friction μs = coefficient of static friction μk = coefficient of kinetic friction
Air Resistance When an object moves through air it runs into air molecules. It is a type of friction because it resists the motion of the object.
A special situation Terminal velocity is when The object stops accelerating and travels at constant velocity. FAir = FW and Fnet = 0
