Is friction considered an external force?
Yes, friction is considered an external force because it acts on an object from outside of it, affecting its motion or resistance to motion.
What is the outside force causing my balloon powered car to stop in motions?
Friction
Why is friction needed in the brakes?
Newton's First Law of Motion states: "An object in motion, remains in motion, unless acted upon by an outside force". Friction is an additional outside force that stops the motion of a vehicle faster. Without friction, the vehicle would never stop until it crashed into something.
What is required to get a stationary object moving?
An outside force is needed. If friction comes into play (which it likely will), the magnitude of the applied force must be greater than the force of friction acting upon the object in order for the object to move. FYI, the force of friction is equal to the coefficient of static friction times the normal force (equal to the weight of the object).
Describe the factors that cause static friction between two surfaces to increase.?
A higher coefficient of static friction increases the static frictional force. A greater normal force also does this.
What does the friction force vs normal force graph reveal about the relationship between friction force and normal force?
The friction force vs normal force graph shows that there is a direct relationship between the friction force and the normal force. As the normal force increases, the friction force also increases. This indicates that the friction force is proportional to the normal force.
How to find the friction coefficient in a given system?
To find the friction coefficient in a given system, you can use the formula: Friction coefficient Force of friction / Normal force. The force of friction is the force resisting the motion of an object, and the normal force is the force exerted perpendicular to the surface the object is on. By dividing the force of friction by the normal force, you can calculate the friction coefficient.
Which is the larger the kinetic friction force or the statical friction force?
Statical friction
What does the friction vs normal force graph reveal about the relationship between friction and the normal force?
The friction vs normal force graph shows that there is a direct relationship between friction and the normal force. As the normal force increases, the friction force also increases. This indicates that the friction force is dependent on the normal force acting on an object.
What is the effect of force on friction?
The force acting on an object increases the friction between the object and the surface it is on. As the force increases, the friction force also increases proportionally until it reaches a maximum value, called the limiting friction. This relationship is described by the equation: friction force = coefficient of friction * normal force.
Is there a force that can go against friction?
No. Friction can only slow an object down. If friction were imparting a force greater than that of the applied forces, then friction in and of itself would actually be causing the object to move, which does not happen.
What are the two factors that affect the friction force between two surfaces?
The strength of the force of friction depends on the types of surfaces involved and on how hard the surfaces push together.
