Viscous force. This is the frictional force between layers in relative motion


What is an upward force exerted by water and other fluids?

The upward force exerted by fluids is called buoyancy. It is dependent on the weight of the object in question.

Named as frictional force in case of solids and named as viscous force in case of fluids, ie liquids and gases.


How can one consider a frictional force on a track as constant while frictional forces are non conservative?

This is a very good question. A conservative force is defined as a force that doesn't remove energy from a system. Such forces as a spring force are conservative. However, wherever a frictional force is exerted, heat is produced. It takes energy to make heat, and the energy comes from the kinetic energy of whatever objects have frictional forces exerted upon them. A frictional force will eventually remove all of the kinetic energy from a system. However, a frictional force is constant. The force of friction is defined as the coefficient of friction times mass times the gravitational constant. (The coefficient of friction is represented as the greek letter mu). Regardless of the remaining Kinetic energy in a system, the frictional force will not change, thus a frictional force is constant, but not conservative. Hope this helps whoever asked this question! --An AP PHYSICS STUDENT


Why is frictional force called a perverse force?
