FrictionFriction Problem Situations
Friction
• Friction Ff is a force that resists motion•Friction involves objects in contact
with each other.•Friction must be overcome before
motion occurs.• Friction is caused by the uneven
surfaces of the touching objects. As surfaces are pressed together, they tend to interlock and offer resistance to being moved over each other.
Friction
• Frictional forces are always in the direction that is opposite to the direction of motion or to the net force that produces the motion.
• Friction acts parallel to the surfaces in contact.
Types of Friction• Static friction: maximum frictional force
between stationary objects.• Until some maximum value is reached and
motion occurs, the frictional force is whatever force is necessary to prevent motion.
• Static friction will oppose a force until such time as the object “breaks away” from the surface with which it is in contact.
• The force that is opposed is that component of an applied force that is parallel to the surface of contact.
Types of Friction• The magnitude of the static friction force Ffs
has a maximum value which is given by:
• where μs is the coefficient of static friction and FN is the magnitude of the normal force on the body from the surface.
fs s NF F
Types of Friction• Sliding or kinetic friction: frictional force
between objects that are sliding with respect to one another.• Once enough force has been applied to the
object to overcome static friction and get the object to move, the friction changes to sliding (or kinetic) friction.
• Sliding (kinetic) friction is less than static friction.• If the component of the applied force on the
object (parallel to the surface) exceeds Ffs then the magnitude of the opposing force decreases rapidly to a value Fk given by:
where μk is the coefficient of kinetic friction.
k k NF F
Types of Friction• Here you can see
that the applied force is resisted by the static frictional force Ffs (fs in the figure) until “breakaway”.
• Then the sliding (kinetic) frictional force Fk is approximately constant.
Types of Friction
• Static and sliding friction are dependent on:• The nature of the surfaces in contact.
Rough surfaces tend to produce more friction.
• The normal force (Fn) pressing the surfaces together; the greater Fn is, the more friction there is.
Types of Friction
Types of Friction
• Rolling friction: involves one object rolling over a surface or another object.
• Fluid friction: involves the movement of a fluid over an object (air resistance or drag in water) or the addition of a lubricant (oil, grease, etc.) to change sliding or rolling friction to fluid friction.
Coefficient of Friction
• Coefficient of friction (): ratio of the frictional force to the normal force pressing the surfaces together. has no units.
• Static:
• Sliding (kinetic):

•The maximum frictional force is 50 N. As the applied force increases from 0 N to 50 N, the frictional force also increases from 0 N to 50 N and will be equal to the applied force as it increases.
•As the applied force increases beyond 50 N, the frictional force remains at 50 N and the 100 N block will accelerate.
•Once the static frictional force of 50 N has been overcome, only a 40 N force is needed to overcome the 40 N kinetic frictional force and produce constant velocity (a = 0 m/s2).

• The negative sign for acceleration a is dropped because k is a ratio of forces that does not depend on direction.
• Maximum stopping distance occurs when the tire is rotating. When this happens, a = -s·g.
• Otherwise, use a = -k·g to find the acceleration, then use a velocity equation to find distance, time, or speed.

Non-parallel Applied Force on Ramp

Suppose the applied force acts on the box, at an angle above the horizontal, rather than parallel to the ramp. We must resolve FA into parallel and perpendicular components using the angle + (FA cos ( + θ) and FA sin ( + θ)).
FA serves to increase acceleration directly and indirectly: directly by FA cos ( + θ) pulling the box down the ramp, and indirectly by FA sin ( + θ) lightening the normal support force with the ramp (thereby reducing friction).

Because of the perp. comp. of FA, N < mg cos. Assuming FA sin( + ) is not big enough to lift the box off the ramp, there is no acceleration in the perpendicular direction. So, FA sin( + ) + N = mg cos. Remember, N is what a scale would read if placed under the box, and a scale reads less if a force lifts up on the box. So, N = mg cos - FA sin( + ), which means fk = k N = k [mg cos - FA sin( + )].

FN = applied force
Friction is always parallel to surfaces….
•In this case, for the block to remain in position against the wall without moving:
