Imagine pushing a a box on a hardwood floor. The more you put in the box, the harder it is to move, because the box is exerting more force on the floor causing the two surfaces to "interlock" more on a micro level. This means that the heavier the box is, the more firction it has with the floor.
False. The force needed to overcome static friction is usually greater than the force needed to overcome kinetic friction.
False. The force needed to overcome static friction is typically greater than that needed to overcome kinetic friction. Static friction is the resistance to motion when an object is at rest, while kinetic friction is the resistance to motion when an object is already in motion. Static friction requires more force to overcome because it is necessary to break the initial "stickiness" between the surfaces.
True -It's "False"!
False. The force required to overcome static friction is generally higher than the force needed to overcome kinetic friction. Static friction is the resistance to the initial movement of two objects at rest, while kinetic friction is the resistance to the motion of objects sliding against each other.
No, the force needed to overcome static friction is generally greater than the force needed to overcome kinetic friction. Static friction occurs when two surfaces are at rest relative to each other, requiring more force to overcome the initial "sticking" friction. Once the surfaces are in motion, kinetic friction occurs and typically requires less force to maintain motion.
True -It's "False"!
On wet pavement, the presence of water reduces the friction between the tires and the road surface, making it more slippery. This is because the force needed to overcome static friction (needed to start moving) is less than the force needed to overcome sliding friction (needed to maintain motion). As a result, it is easier for a vehicle to slide or skid on wet pavement compared to dry pavement.
The friction graph shows that as surface roughness increases, the force required to overcome friction also increases. This indicates that there is a positive relationship between surface roughness and the force needed to overcome friction.
Yes, that is correct. It generally requires more force to overcome kinetic friction (friction between moving surfaces) than static friction (friction between stationary surfaces). Once an object is in motion, the frictional force decreases, making it easier to keep the object moving compared to starting it from rest.
true
As a rule, sliding friction is greater to overcome than fluid friction. However, the variables could be manipulated to show it in both lights. The mass, weight, surface area, types of surfaces, speed, ect... are all variables in which the amount of force is needed to overcome sliding friction. While density and viscosity are major variables in fluid friction.
To determine the static friction coefficient on an incline, one can measure the angle of the incline and the force required to overcome static friction. By dividing the force needed to overcome static friction by the force due to gravity acting on the object, the static friction coefficient can be calculated.
