Friction occurring at surface
vvvv W (Weight) ^^^ Rn (Normal Reaction) <<< F (Frictional Force) >>> P (Applied Force) >>> Motion
P (Applied Force) and F (Frictional Force) effected by Rn or weight increasing
P (Applied Force) and F (Frictional Force) increases
P (Applied Force) and F (Frictional Force) effected by Rn or weight Decreasing
P (Applied Force) and F (Frictional Force) decreases
P (Applied Force) and F (Frictional Force) effected by Co-efficient increases
F (Frictional Force) increases
P (Applied Force) and F (Frictional Force) effected by Co-efficient decreases
P (Applied Force) and F (Frictional Force) increases
Explain Static Friction 1
Friction at Rest
Requires to non-moving bodies
Explain Sliding Friction 1
One object slides over another
2 bodies in reletive motion
Explain Rolling Friction 1
One object rolls over another
Resistance to thsi motion is called rolling friction
Advantages of friction
Heavy objects can be expected to stay put
Tyres grip while moving up hill
Disadvantages of friction
Exert more power to run machines
prevents movement of heavy objects
Machine on the moon design
Enclosed Ball bearings
Rollers where possible
reduce friction in machine
Use grease regularily
Keep sealed to prevent dust
Blowout Bubble?

Explain Static Friction 2
REquires more force to get moving than to maintain motion
Explain Sliding Friction 2
REquires more force to get moving than to maintain motion
