Forces & Newton’s Laws of Motion. Chapter 4 (friction). Static Friction that helps keep objects still against forces. Greater than kinetic. Changes size and only does enough to prevent motion, no more. Kinetic Friction of movement. Remains a constant value once an object is moving.

Forces & Newton’s Laws of Motion Chapter 4 (friction)
Static Friction that helps keep objects still against forces. Greater than kinetic. Changes size and only does enough to prevent motion, no more. Kinetic Friction of movement. Remains a constant value once an object is moving. Two Types of Friction
Friction • Depends only on the surfaces, not on velocity • Depends on two things, normal force of the object and the combination of surfaces • Coefficient of friction, µ equals the ratio of frictional force to normal force.
What if . . . ? • FA < Ff • FA = Ff • FA > Ff • Ff is NOT an “applied” force!!
Example #10 What is the acceleration of a 30 kg crate if the frictional force is 10 N and the object has a 15 N force applied to it? Try this problem again but the crate is 30 N.
Example #11A A 52 N sled is pulled across a cement sidewalk at constant speed. A horizontal force of 36 N is exerted. What is the coefficient of friction between the metal runners and the cement?
Example #11B Now the sled runs on packed snow where the coefficient of friction is 0.12. If a 650 N person sits on the sled, what is the applied force needed to move it at constant speed?
Example #12 A penguin slides across the ice 15 m to a stop. The coefficient of friction between the penguin and the ice is 0.01. How fast was the penguin going initially?
Example #13 What coefficient of friction is needed to keep the system at equilibrium? m1=4 kg =? m2=3 kg
Example #14 What is the acceleration of the system shown below? What is the tension in the cable? m1=4 kg =0.2 m2=3 kg
