FRICTION Friction is necessary for walking due to the following reason‚ As per Newton’s third law of motion‚ (every action has an equal and opposite reaction) we can walk if and only if the ground we are walking on push our feet back with a force. Now‚ as per the third law the ground would definitely push our feet back but if we are walking on a perfectly smooth ground which has no friction our force would simply cancel out the force reverted by the ground and we would fall. If there was no

For an object pulled or pushed horizontally‚ the normal force - N - is simply the weight: N = m g (2) where m = mass of the object (kg‚ slugs) g = acceleration of gravity (9.81 m/s2‚ 32 ft/s2) Frictional Coefficients for some Common Materials and Materials Combinations Materials and Material Combinations Static Frictional Coefficient - μs Clean and Dry Surfaces Lubricated and Greasy Surfaces Aluminum Aluminum 1.05 - 1.35 0.3 Aluminum- bronze Steel 0.45 Aluminum Mild Steel 0.61 Brake material

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

These false images can either be externally imposed or internally fabricated. In either case‚ one must have the courage to look through this ignorance so that ones true self can be exposed. After reading Mirrors it was obvious that‚ Lucy Grealy cared what others thought about her physical appearance. In time‚ however

Coefficients of Friction Discussion: Friction is the force that resists motion and can be determined in either static situations or kinetic situations using the following equation: [pic] Static friction is the amount of friction that resists the start of motion and kinetic friction resists an object’s continued motion. The coefficient of friction depends on a number of factors including surface area and the types of surfaces in contact. The only way to determine a coefficient of friction is experimentally
