Momo with mass m is sliding down an inclined plane that makes an angle O relative to the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between Momo and the inclined plane is uk. Obtain an expression for Momo's acceleration along the incline. Assign a rotated Cartesian plane so that the acceleration is along the positive x-axis and the normal force is along the positive y-axis. The component of the weight parallel to Momo's acceleration is wy = mg The magnitude of the frictional force is f = Hk The normal force on Momo is n = mg 0. With these expressions and applying Newton's second law, we arrive at an expression for Momo's acceleration: a =

Consider an object at rest on a rough horizontal surface. Which of the following is necessarily correct if we use the model of friction described in the videos and book? The force of friction on the object is smaller than or equal to μg FN, where μs is the coefficient of static friction and FN is the normal force exerted on the object by the surface. The force of friction on the object is proportional to the normal force exerted by the surface on the object. The force of friction on any object opposes motion; since the object is at rest, the force of friction is zero. The force of friction on the object is proportional to the object's weight, i.e. Ff = p.mg, where μs is the coefficient of static friction, m is the mass of the object, and g is acceleration due to Earth's gravity.
