    Kinetic Friction Experiment #13 Joe Solution E01234567 Partner- Jane Answers PHY 221 Lab Instructor- Nathaniel Franklin Wednesday‚ 11 AM-1 PM Lecture Instructor – Dr. Jacobs Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to examine kinetic friction and what factors affect it. We pulled a wood block across a surface to determine whether the surface area of the block or the type of surface affects friction. The surface area did not appear to affect friction‚ since there was a small percent difference

    Name:______________________________Period:______ The Ramp (and Friction) PhET Simulation Lab go to: phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/ramp-forces-and-motion Introduction: When an object is dragged across a surface‚ the force of friction that must be overcome depends on the normal force as F=uN and the normal force is given by N= Wy‚ the vertical component of weight pointing perpendicular to the surface. When the angle of an inclined plane changes‚ the normal force changes and so does the friction. In this lab‚ you will change the

    CLUTCH | 1. INTRODUCTION  Friction is to be avoided in some parts of machines‚ but is wanted in such items as clutches‚ brakes and belt-driven pulley systems. The apparatus used for this experiment is a simulation of a clutch‚ the pressure being provided by vertical weight on a plate. In engaging a clutch between a running engine and a stationary machine there is bound to be some wear‚ and it is evident that the wear must be uniform on the surface of the friction plate. As wear is proportional

The kinetic slope is the biggest by far because it represents the less coefficient of friction it has to overcome to move easier. 5. According to my data table‚ an increase in weight always‚ without fail‚ creates a greater force of friction. 6. An increase in weight does not affect the coefficient of friction by also increasing

    INTRODUCTION Friction is a force (measured in Newtons) acting along the surfaces of two objects in physical contact that impedes the relative motion of these objects (the motion of one with respect to the other). As such‚ it can be said that friction always acts opposite the motion of the object or the force applied. There are two main types of friction: Static friction: the frictional force that opposes any attempt to move a stationary object along a surface. Kinetic friction: this frictional

    improvement methods and precautions to avoid polishing of asphalt pavements are proposed. Introduction During the entire life cycle of a pavement‚ highway agencies are expected to monitor and maintain an adequate surface roughness to facilitate friction between car tires and pavement surface. Polishing is a smooth slippery surface caused by repeated wear on the pavement due to traffic and even heavy pedestrian load on parking lot pavements. This behavior of the pavement will cause its skid

    happen is because of friction. The force of friction is the resistance to motion that is in the opposite direction of the traveling object. This is why if you roll a ball on the ground it eventually stops. Friction is also the reason you can hold a book‚ and the reason why you don’t slip when walking! The ground and other solid surfaces can cause friction‚ called dry friction‚ but fluids (liquids and gases) like water and air can also cause frictional forces‚ called fluid friction. The equation for
