FRICTION

You push a book across your desk. When

you stop pushing, the book stops due to
friction.

What is friction?
​Is the force that resists the motion of
one surface against another.

The Coefficient of Kinetic Friction

The slope of the line is the coefficient

of kinetic friction ( μk ) The y intercept
(b) is zero because when there is no
normal force between the two objects,
there will be no contact and therefore
no friction.

The Coefficient of Static Friction

In the equation for the maximum static friction force, ( µs ) is

the coefficient of static friction between the two surfaces.
The maximum force that should be overcome before motion can
begin.

Measurements of coefficients of friction are

quite sensitive to the conditions of the surfaces. Surface
impurities, such as dust or small amounts of oil from
experimenters’ hands, can significantly affect the results
of the measurements.
