    Experiment 5: Friction Laboratory Report Charles Sanchez‚ Geminesse Sianghio‚ Ferguie Solis Department of Chemistry College of Science‚ University of Santo Tomas España Street‚ Manila Philippines Abstract In this experiment‚ a block of wood is used to observe friction on different surfaces such that an extra weight is also added to the block of wood to measure the same units under the different surfaces. With also the use of lubircant a member of the group was asked to observe the

    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 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

    AP Physics Laboratory 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

    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]

    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

    FRICTION Problem 507 The 2225-N block shown in Fig. P-507 is in contact with 45° incline. The coefficient of static friction is 0.25. Compute the value of the horizontal force P necessary to (a) just start the block up the incline or (b) just prevent motion down the incline. (c) If P = 1780 N‚ what is the amount and direction of the friction force?     Solution 507 Part (a) – Force P to just start the block to move up the incline The force P is pushing the block up the incline. The push
