This in turn, effects the static friction coefficient, meaning that the less surface area between the The force of friction is always represented as a horizontal arrow in a free- body diagram. True False Exercise 1 Explain the difference between static friction and kinetic friction. Discuss the relationship between friction, normal force, and surface area. Compare the static and kinetic friction forces and coefficients determined for the flat wooden friction block and the wooden friction block on its side that were recorded in Data Table 1. What was the relationship of surface area to the force and coefficient of friction between the objects?

In most cases, the coefficient of static frictio a higher force to overcome the interlocking irregularities. Once the object is in motion, the surfaces slide more smoothly, resulting in a lower resistance to inetic coefficient is the more accurate. This is because I made my graph using the excel software. In many cases, computers with good software are more Compare the forces of static and kinetic friction and the coefficients of static and kinetic friction that were determined for the flat wooden friction block as the weight (and normal force) of the block changed, as recorded in Data Table 2. What was the relationship between the normal force and the forces and coefficients of friction between the two materials? Do your experimental results support the background statement that the coefficient of kinetic friction is always smaller than the coefficient of static friction for the same two materials? Explain your answer by referencing your data and graphs. Compare the average coefficients of static and kinetic friction found for the wooden friction block to the coefficient of static and kinetic friction found from the graph. Do the values match? If not, which method provides a more accurate calculation of the actual coefficient? Explain your choice.

her surface than all of the materials leading to the highest coefficients. Note that smooth surfaces tend to have fewer points of contact on a molecular level than rough surfaces. Molecular bonds form where the surfaces do to happens with a constant velocity. During the scenario the kinetic frictional force can be directly measured under the conditions where it is in equilibrium se, it is necessary to measure the applied force just before the block begins to move. This allows us to determine the maximum force of static friction tha tion opposes motion and manifests in various ways, such as static friction that keeps an object at rest, kinetic friction that acts on moving objects, rolling Which material among the four you tested has the largest coefficients of static and kinetic friction? Which material has the smallest? Does this make sense? Why or why not? When attempting to determine the coefficient of kinetic friction, why is it necessary to move the block with constant velocity? When attempting to determine the coefficient of static friction, why is it necessary to measure the applied force just before the block moves? Are these two scenarios (constant velocity and almost in motion) the only scenarios when friction is present? Explain your answer.
