Friction Flashcards
1
Q
What is the equation for friction?
A
Fmax = uR
F = friction
u = coefficient of friction
R = reactant
2
Q
What is friction?
A
the forces that opposes movement between two ‘rough’ surfaces
3
Q
What does friction depend on?
A
- normal reaction between two surfaces
- the coefficient of friction between the two surfaces
4
Q
What is the maximum magnitude of friction?
A
the maximum magnitude of the driving force
5
Q
What happens when Fmax is reached?
A
at the point of moving, body is in limiting equilibrium
6
Q
What is limiting equilibrium also known as?
A
static particles
