Forces Flashcards
Tension when an object is accelerating
FT-mg=ma or FT=ma + mg
Tension when object is stationary
FT=mg
Normal Force when object is stationary
FN=mg
Kinetic Friction
FFrk=Standard of kinetic friction*(FN)
Static Friction
FFrs< or =Standard of static friction*(FN)
Weak applied force, object remains at rest
Static friction<Standard of static friction*(FN)
Strong applied force, object just about to slide
Static friction=Standard of static friction*(FN)
Object sliding at constant speed
Kinetic friction=Standard of kinetic friction*(FN)
Relationship between Standards of Friction
Standard of Static Friction > Standard of Kinetic Friction
Standard of Static Friction at maximum angle with no acceleration
Standard of Static Friction=tan(theta[max])
Net force and Normal force
Fn-mg=ma
