3 Frictional Forces
-direct contact involves contact forces such as normal force and friction

Kinetic and Static Friction

-friction force is parallel to the surface
-kinetic friction force is when a body slids over a surface
-magnitude of kinetic friction force increases when normal force increases
-this relationship is often proportional and can be represented by equation:

-coefficient of kinetic friction dependent on slippery-ness of the surface

-friction and normal forces ALWAYS perpendicular
-friction forces can also act w/o motion through static friction force
-eventually tension exceeds maximum static friction force and the box breaks
loose and starts to slide
-this maximum value is approximately proportional to the normal force:

-when the box starts to slide the friction force usually decreases

Rolling Friction
-coefficient of rolling friction is the horizontal force needed for constant speed on
a flat surface divided by the upward normal force exerted by the surface
-also known as tractive resistance

Example 5.18

Fluid Resistance and Terminal Speed

-force that a fluid exerts on a body moving through it
-magnitude of the fluid restance force usually increases with the speed of the
body through the fluid
-at low speed fluid resistance is approx. proportional to the body's speed

-at higher speeds resistance is approx. proportional to v^2 instead of v

(then called drag)

-terminal speed is given by mg - kv = 0, or
