How do you find the minimum coefficient of static friction for a mass on an incline of 32 degrees?

The equation for friction is F=uN. F (friction), u (coefficient of friction), and N (normal). So you first need to solve for the normal by using Newton's second law. Also solve for the x component of the gravity force. Since it is static friction, you know it should be at rest, so that x component force should be the same as the force of friction. Knowing that and the normal, plug it into the equation and solve for u.


What type of friction is the frictional force needed to start on object at rest into motion?

Static


When a body slides over a surface the kinetic friction and static friction related as?

Kinetic friction is the friction that applies when an object is moving; static friction is the friction that applies when the object is not moving. Static friction must always be greater than, or equal to, kinetic friction.


When you are performing work what are the two types of friction are acting upon?

When performing work, the two types of friction that are acting upon are static friction and kinetic friction. Static friction occurs when an object is at rest, preventing it from moving. Kinetic friction occurs when the object is in motion, resisting its movement.


Does friction use static?

Yes, friction can involve static friction when two surfaces are not moving relative to each other, and kinetic friction when the surfaces are in motion. Both types of friction occur due to the interaction between the surfaces at a microscopic level.

How can one determine the value of static friction in a given scenario?

To determine the value of static friction in a given scenario, you can use the equation: static friction coefficient of static friction x normal force. The coefficient of static friction is a constant that depends on the materials in contact, and the normal force is the force exerted perpendicular to the surface. By calculating these values, you can find the static friction force acting in the scenario.


Which friction is greater sliding friction or static friction?

Static friction


What is the relationship between static friction and the coefficient of static friction, denoted as latex: mus?

The relationship between static friction and the coefficient of static friction (s) is that static friction is directly proportional to the coefficient of static friction. This means that the force of static friction acting on an object is determined by the coefficient of static friction between the object and the surface it is in contact with.


Is static friction the same as starting friction?

Yes, look at "what is static friction?" Static friction is also known as starting friction.


What is the type of friction you observe when you push furniture that cannot move?

That is called static friction.


What are the two kinds of friction?

There are two types of friction : static friction and kinetic friction. Static friction occurs when two objects are touching but are not moving relative to each other. For example, static friction can prevent a box from sliding down a slope. The static friction between this box and the slope (and between any objects) can be calculated using the equation : Fs = µsN where µs is the coefficient of static friction and N is the normal force. Kinetic friction occurs when two objects are touching and moving relative to each other. For example, the kinetic friction slows down a box sliding down a slope. Also, when two surfaces rub together, there is kinetic friction. The kinetic friction can be calculated using the equation: Fk= µkN where µk is the coefficient of kinetic friction and N is the normal force.


What is more sliding friction or static friction?

static friction is higher in most cases, if you're talking about the coefficient of static or kinetic friction


Is the static friction is always zero?

Actually, the static friction is neverzero.


What are the 2kinds of friction?

The two types of friction are static friction and kinetic friction. Static friction occurs when two surfaces are at rest relative to each other, while kinetic friction occurs when two surfaces are in motion relative to each other.


What causes friction in satic electricity?

There is no friction IN static electricity. However static electricity can be caused BY friction.


What is the coefficient of static friction between the two surfaces when the coefficient of static friction is 0.60?

The coefficient of static friction between two surfaces is 0.60.


Is static friction or sliding friction stronger?

Static friction is typically stronger than sliding friction. Static friction occurs when an object is at rest and needs to overcome the initial force required to start moving, whereas sliding friction occurs once the object is already in motion.
