The generalized answer is: Friction is equal to the forces acting upon an object.

I know only 2 laws of friction.....The first states that friction between two surfaces is proportional to the force pressing one another am assuming its normal force or the perpendicular force.

The other states friction is independent of the contact area. That is, the friction is the same whether the brick is on its large face, the smaller side or the small end. Hope this is accurate.

  1. When an object is moving, the friction is proportional and perpendicular to the normal force (N)
  2. Friction is independent of the area of contact so long as there is an area of contact.
  3. The coefficient of static friction is slightly greater than the coefficient of kinetic friction.
  4. Within rather large limits, kinetic friction is independent of velocity.
  5. Friction depends upon the nature of the surfaces in contact.

Basic properties of friction have been described as laws:

  • Amontons' 1st Law: The force of friction is directly proportional to the applied load.
  • Amontons' 2nd Law: The force of friction is independent of the apparent area of contact.
  • Coulomb's Law of Friction: Kinetic friction is independent of the sliding velocity.

Amontons' 2nd Law is an idealization assuming perfectly rigid and inelastic materials. For example, wider tires on cars provide more traction than narrow tires for a given vehicle mass because of surface deformation of the tire.

If a water slide was dry how would the friction be different?

Water can absorb friction because it's wet and slippery. When things are dry, there nothing slippery or wet to absorb the friction, so the friction becomes stronger.

How does friction affect the law of inertia?

Friction has no effect whatsoever on the law. But if friction is present, then the law can't be demonstrated, because the moving object always has an external force acting on it.
