    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]

    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

    Coefficient of Friction- Post Lab Abstract The purpose of the experiment was to determine to coefficient of friction on a block sliding across a horizontal plane‚ and on the same block sliding down an inclined plane. This was done by first testing block‚ and how much weight on a string was needed to move the block at a constant velocity using a pulley system. The block weighed 0.2385 kilograms‚ and needed a hanging mass of 0.05 kg to move at a constant velocity. This means the coefficient of

    have chosen to talk to you about friction. Friction is the force between two objects in contact with each other‚ making it a contact force. It causes moving objects to slow down. Air resistance is a type of friction. Friction is an important force in our lives. We rely on friction in many ways. An athlete usually wears shoes which provide him/her with a greater friction between the shoe and the surface. We rely on friction as an important aspect of motion. Friction can be a very useful force because
