  1. Friction Ffriction = μFNormal

  2. Ff = μFN • Ff = friction force (direction is always the opposite of velocity causing it to slow objects down)

  3. Ff = μFN • Ff = friction force (direction is always the opposite of velocity causing it to slow objects down) • μ = coefficient of friction (experimentally determined value based on the two surfaces in contact with one another)

  4. Ff = μFN • Ff = friction force (direction is always the opposite of velocity causing it to slow objects down) • μ = coefficient of friction (experimentally determined value based on the two surfaces in contact with one another) • FN = normal force (force perpendicular to the surface boundary)

  5. Types of Friction • static friction – friction that prevents an object from moving.

  6. Types of Friction • static friction – friction that prevents an object from moving. • kinetic (sliding) friction – friction that slows down an object in motion.

  7. Types of Friction • static friction – friction that prevents an object from moving. • kinetic (sliding) friction – friction that slows down an object in motion. • static friction is always greater than kinetic friction for the same object.

  8. Types of Friction • static friction – friction that prevents an object from moving. • kinetic (sliding) friction – friction that slows down an object in motion. • static friction is always greater than kinetic friction for the same object. • This means that it takes more force to get an object moving than it takes to keep it moving.

  9. Friction on Horizontal Surfaces • On a horizontal surface, the normal force will always be equal to the weight of the object.

  10. Friction on Horizontal Surfaces • On a horizontal surface, the normal force will always be equal to the weight of the object. • Example: You push a 25.0 kg wooden box across a wooden floor at a constant speed. How much force do you exert on the box?

  25. Why do you suppose it is bad to lock the brakes on a moving vehicle? • When the wheel is not spinning, the friction produced is kinetic friction. • When the wheel is spinning, static friction is taking place. • Because static friction is always greater, there is more friction between your tires and the road when the wheels are spinning. This gives you greater control over the vehicle.
