Friction - Physic

Friction is the force that opposes the relative motion between two surfaces in contact. It always acts in the direction opposite to the motion. Friction depends on the roughness of the surfaces and the weight of the objects. There are two types of friction: static friction and kinetic friction. Static friction acts between surfaces attempting to move but not yet in motion, while kinetic friction acts between surfaces already in motion against each other. The coefficient of friction determines the ratio between frictional and normal contact forces.

Properties of friction
1. Always in a direction opposite to the motion (force)
2. Depends on roughness of surfaces and weight of objects
3. Not depends on area of contact surface between a object
and a surface

TYPE OF FRICTION
S TATI C F R I C TION
The frictional force acting between
two surfaces which are attempting
to move, but are not moving.

KI NETIC F RI CTION
( SL I DI NG FR I CT I ON)
The frictional force acting between
two surfaces which are in motion
against each other.

Ex. Pushing to start a car moved harder


than pushing when it already moved

Start moving

Static
- Could have a value less
or greater than the
value for kinetic friction
- Increases

Kinetic
- Has a value less than
the maximum value of
static friction
- Remains constant

FORMULA

ffriction = N
= coefficient of friction
k = coefficient of kinetic friction
s = coefficient of static friction

N = Normal force

NORMAL FORCE
- Support force exerted upon an
object
- Perpendicular to the surface that
an object is on

COEFFICIENT
Shows the Surface Roughness

EXAMPLE

A. Less friction = Move easily


B. More friction = Move hardly

Friction always occur when more


than one object contact with
each other

Match
