Is sitting in a chair example of potential energy?

Sitting in a chair is an example of gravitational potential energy. This is because when you are sitting in a chair, you have the potential to fall down due to gravity. Your position above the ground gives you potential energy that can be converted to kinetic energy if you were to stand up and fall.


What friction is it if you were sitting?

There is no friction when you are sitting. In a car perhaps, friction does act on you while you are sitting. When going round a bend, the friction provided by the seat enable you not to move out of your seat (to a certain extent since sometimes we have to hold on to something so as not to fall out of our seat!)


If a person is sitting on a chair what forces are affecting them?

Two forces: gravity and the support force (according to Newton's law) that opposes it.


What forces act upon a chair?

The main forces acting on a chair are gravity, which pulls the chair downward towards the Earth, and the normal force exerted by the floor or supporting surface, which balances the force of gravity to keep the chair in place. Other forces could include friction between the chair and the floor, as well as any additional forces such as those applied by a person sitting on the chair.


What are some simple examples of static friction?

Some simple effects of static friction are car tires when they are not sliding. While a car is rolling, the point on the wheels that is touching the ground is moving with zero velocity. Thus, contrary to popular belief, this is an example of static friction, not kinetic. Another is a box sitting on an incline, and yet another is you sitting in a chair at this computer. Each is a case of friction in which two objects contact each other and do not move.
