Is friction a contact or non contact force?
friction is a contact force
What type of force holds a book on a sloped desk?
Friction.
When tow people are pushing on a desk in same direction as reference direction what will happen to object?
If the combined force is enough to overcome the force of friction, the desk will start moving.
When you rub your hands back and forth across your desk how are you changing mechanical energy?
Mechanical to heat via friction
Why when you push an object across a desk is the work done not equal to the change in gravitational potential energy?
The gravitational potential energy does not change if the desk is horizontal. The work done is in overcoming the friction between the object and the desk.
Why is more force needed to slide a larger book across a table than to slide a small book across the same table?
Gravity - and friction. The larger book has more gravity - holding it own onto the desk. Friction stops the book sliding sideways.
Why a cooler is more effective on a hot and dry day?
Sliding friction is when two objects slide across from one another. An example is sliding a book across a desk. It is also known as Kinetic friction.

What type of force holds a book on a sloped desk?
Friction.
The friction between a book at rest and the desk it is lying on is an example of what?
This is the example of Newton third law and law of inertia.

If the combined force is enough to overcome the force of friction, the desk will start moving.
When you rub your hands back and forth across your desk how are you changing mechanical energy?
Mechanical to heat via friction
What would be easier to push across the desk rubber or ice?
Ice, because it has lower friction than rubber.
Why when you push an object across a desk is the work done not equal to the change in gravitational potential energy?
The gravitational potential energy does not change if the desk is horizontal. The work done is in overcoming the friction between the object and the desk.
An example of kenetic fritcion?
Kinetic friction is when two objects are rubbing against each other. Putting a book flat on a desk and moving it around is an example of kinetic friction.
What is static friction and kinetic friction?
Static friction is the friction between two objects that are not moving relative to each other (eg: a desk on the floor not moving), kinetic friction is the friction between two objects that are moving relative to each other (eg: a desk sliding on the floor)
