    Friction Page 1 Lab: Friction William Morris Leo Hayes High School Friction Page 2 Purpose: To investigate the coefficient of friction for a given surface and the effects that factors such as weight‚ surface area and changes to the surface have on the coefficient of friction. Hypothesis: The smaller the amount of normal force (weight)‚ the less friction created and the least surface area and the greaser the surface the less friction is created. With

    PHYS 111N Experiment 06: Friction Submitted by: Porsha Renee Sumner Lab Partners: Amber Carter‚ Emily Rawles‚ Clayton Scott Wednesday‚ March 6‚ 2013‚ 9:00 AM Lab Instructor: Uttar Pudasaini Introduction In this experiment we will be examining how the kinetic friction coefficient is altered by changing the mass‚ surface area‚ speed‚ and material contacting each other. In order to find this value‚ we will be using a pulley apparatus that will allow us to measure the average velocity and manipulate

    Friction Cynthia Clark Student No. xxxxx May 19‚ 2009 Abstract This experiment measures the coefficient of static friction (μs) and kinetic friction (μk) between objects of different materials. Friction is a force that must be overcome before an object can move across a surface. A plain block of wood and a block of wood with sandpaper on one side and glass on the other were used. All of the blocks had a soup can with a mass of 0.41

    Introduction The purpose of this lab is to determine: the coefficient of friction between a rubber stopper and a wooden ramp the coefficient of static friction between a wooden block and a wooden ramp the coefficient of kinetic friction between a wooden block and a wooden ramp The design of this experiment was done by placing a rubber stopper / wooden block onto a wooden ramp and tilting the ramp at a certain degree to cause the stopper / block to move. The measurements of the vertical distance

    Friction Definition: Friction is the force resisting the relative lateral (tangential) motion of solid surfaces‚ fluid layers‚ or material elements in contact. Force of friction:- Friction is a force that is created whenever two surfaces move or try to move across each other. • Friction always opposes the motion or attempted motion of one surface across another surface. • Friction is dependant on the texture of both surfaces. • Friction is also dependant on the amount of contact force pushing

    Friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces‚ fluid layers‚ and material elements sliding against each other. There are several types of friction: Dry friction resists relative lateral motion of two solid surfaces in contact. Dry friction is subdivided into static friction ("stiction") between non-moving surfaces‚ and kinetic friction between moving surfaces. Fluid friction describes the friction between layers of a viscous fluid that are moving relative to each other.[1][2]
