Describe the difference between static and kinetic friction.

Evaluate responses using AI:

OFF

Answer explanation

Static friction is the friction between two surfaces in contact that are not moving. Dynamic friction is the friction between two surfaces in contact that are moving.

Media Image

The table shows the coefficient of friction for three objects of identical mass. Which object will experience the largest magnitude of friction? Explain how you know.

Evaluate responses using AI:

OFF

Answer explanation

Object 2 will experience the largest magnitude of friction because it has the highest coefficient of friction.

OPEN ENDED QUESTION

3 mins • 1 pt

What is the relationship between coefficient of friction and the amount of resistance a surface has?

Evaluate responses using AI:

OFF

Answer explanation

There is a directly proportional relationship between the coefficient of friction and the amount of resistance the surface has. The higher the coefficient of friction, the more resistance. This resistance is the force of friction.

Media Image

The box has a mass of 25 kg and is experiencing a net force of 125 N to the right. Calculate the force of friction.

Evaluate responses using AI:

OFF

Answer explanation

Sum the forces in the x-direction, right is positive, 450N-F (left) = 125N

F(left) = 325N

Media Image

The box has a mass of 30 kg and is accelerating at a rate of -0.5 m/s2. Calculate the force of friction.


Evaluate responses using AI:

OFF

Answer explanation

Sum of the forces =ma,

175N - Ff = 30 kg (-0.5 m/s2)


Ff= 190N
