Chapter 5 - Friction Flashcards
What is the second law of motion -
It states an object will accelerate when a net force is applied
a =
Or
F =
f/m
Or
m(a)
When does acceleration occur -
When force is present
Acceleration happens in the same direction ….. is causing it -
Force
The force that acts between materials that touch as thy move past each other -
Friction
What cases friction -
Microscopic imperfections between two surfaces
Friction always acts in a direction …… to friction
Opposite
Ù = ….. of friction / …….. force
Force
Normal
Ù= Ff / Fn
The force between 2 surfaces that keeps an object from moving
Static friction
In static friction, the net force is ….
Zero
It’s the opposing force between two surfaces that are sliding against each other
Kinetic friction
Fn ^ Ff - - Fa ^ Fw
.
F net = ……
Fa - Ff
Or
M(A)
Mk = Ff / ….
M(g)
If the mass is doubled, the acceleration ….
Will be doubled
