Friction on a horizontal surface is the force that resists the motion of an object sliding or moving along that surface. It arises due to the contact between the surfaces of the object and the surface it is sliding on. The amount of friction depends on factors such as the nature of the surfaces and the normal force pressing them together.

What is the direction of static friction acting on an object placed on a horizontal surface?

The direction of static friction acting on an object placed on a horizontal surface is opposite to the direction in which the object is trying to move.


How does the coefficient of kinetic friction vary with the the area of contact between the block and he horizontal?

The coefficient of kinetic friction remains constant regardless of the area of contact between the block and the horizontal surface. It is a property of the materials in contact and does not depend on the surface area.

What is the amount of horizontal force required to start in motion an object sitting on a horizontal surface must be great than what?

The amount of horizontal force required to start in motion an object sitting on a horizontal surface must be greater than the force of static friction acting on the object. This is because the force of static friction opposes the applied force until the object starts moving.


What are the horizontal friction coefficient calculations?

The horizontal friction coefficient can be calculated using the formula: μ = F_h / N, where μ is the friction coefficient, F_h is the horizontal friction force, and N is the normal force acting on the object. The horizontal friction force can be calculated as F_h = μ* N, where N is the normal force and μ is the friction coefficient.


What is cone friction?

A cone in which the resultant force exerted by one flat horizontal surface on another must be located when both surfaces are at rest, as determined by the coefficient of static friction.


What force causes the horizontal motion?

The force that causes horizontal motion is typically friction generated between the object and the surface it is moving on. Additionally, propulsion forces such as from engines or a person pushing can also contribute to horizontal motion.


Does the slant of an uneven surface create friction between the object and the surface?

What happens is gravity is pulling an object down, and if the surface it's resting on is slanted or uneven, there is a horizontal component to the force. That horizontal component attempts to move the object, however what CREATES the friction is the coefficient of kinetic friction (if the object is moving) or coefficient of static friction (if the object doesn't actually move) of the two surfaces. The two surfaces being the surface of the object that's touching the slanted surface and the slanted surface itself. These coefficients are determined by what the two surfaces are made of. Long story short, what CREATES the friction is the two materials touching each other. The slant just provides the force that attempts to move the object thus resulting in a visual representation of "friction."


What forces act in a horizontal direction?

In a horizontal direction, forces such as friction, tension in a rope, and air resistance can act. These forces can affect the motion of an object in different ways depending on the surface and context.


The speed of ball increases as it rolls down an inclinem What happens to its speed on a smooth horizontal surface?

It's speed will reduce to to friction by gravity.


Why cyclists bend inside on circular track?

In short, you lean inside to reduce horizontal acceleration so that your weight is contributing as much as possible to the normal force (perpendicular to the surface of the track). Since friction force is coefficient of friction * normal force, if you are perpendicular to the surface you maximize friction and therefore the amount of grip you have. And because you are turning inwards, you are being "pulled" outwards, which balances the horizontal force caused by leaning inwards.


Horizontal force required to pull 75 kg block?

To pull a 75 kg block horizontally, you need to overcome the force of static friction between the block and the surface it's on. The force required would depend on the coefficient of static friction between the block and the surface. You can calculate it using the formula: Force of friction = coefficient of static friction × normal force.
