Friction
Force that opposes
motion between 2
surfaces
Depends on the:
• types of
surfaces
• force between the
surfaces
Types of Friction
• Static Friction: (Couch
Potato)
– Force between objects at rest
• Sliding Friction: (Ice
skating)
– Solid surfaces slide over each other
• Rolling Friction:
(Rollerblading)
– An object rolls over a surface.
Friction
Friction is greater...
–between rough
surfaces
–when there’s greater
force between surfaces
(such as more weight)
Lubricant
Changes sliding friction
into fluid friction
Friction
Is friction always bad?
Gravity
The attractive force
between all
objects in the
universe
Acceleration of
Gravity
Near the surface of the earth the
acceleration due to gravity is
9.8 m/s/s
Newton’s 1 st
Law
An object at rest remains at
rest and an object in motion
will continue moving at a
constant velocity unless acted
on by unbalanced forces.
Newton’s Laws of
Motion
Newton’s 1 st
Law INERTIA
• tendency of an object to resist
any change in its motion
• increases as mass increases
Newton‘s 2 nd
Law
Aristotle's idea:
Newton’s idea:
An object moving at a constant
speed will continue at that speed
without additional force being
applied.
Balanced Forces
