Friction
Friction - the force needed to drag one object across another. (at a constant velocity)
Depends on:•How hard the surfaces are held together•What type of surface it is (i.e. rough, smooth)
Not supposed to depend on:•Surface area (pressure)•Speed (low speeds)
FFr = μFNForce of Friction in N
Coefficient of Friction. 0 < μ < 1
Normal Force - Force exerted by a surface to maintain its integrity
Usually the weight (level surfaces)
Kinetic Friction - Force needed to keep it going at a constant velocity.
FFr = μkFN
Always in opposition to velocity
Static Friction - Force needed to start motion.FFr < μsFN
Keeps the object from moving if it can.Only relevant when object is stationary.Always in opposition to applied force.Calculated value is a maximum
A 5.0 kg block of wood has a μs of 0.41, and a μk of .24 between itself and the level floor. a. Calculate the limit of static friction, and the kinetic friction.

A 5.0 kg block of wood has a μs of 0.41, and a μk of .24 between itself and the level floor. (20.1105 N, 11.772 N)d. Kyle and Sally both exert a force on the block, and it accelerates from rest to a 5.2 m/s over a distance of 10. m to the right. If Kyle exerts a force of 25 N to the right, what force in what direction does Sally exert?
