Test 5.1 And 5.2 Flashcards
Vector resolution
He process of breaking a vector into components
Components
Projections of a vector parallel to the x-axis and another parallel to the y-axis
Kinetic friction
Force exerted on one surface by a second surface when the two surfaces rub against eachother because one or both surfaces are moving
Static friction
Force exerted on one surface by a second surface when there is no motion between the two surfaces
Coefficient of kinetic friction
Relates frictional force to normal force an depends on two surfaces in contact
Coefficient of static friction
Used to calculate maximum static frictional force that needs to be overcome before motion begins; dimensionless constant depending on two surfaces n contact
