I think the best way to describe the answer is to describe how static works. If you rub your feet on a carpet, the frictional force causes the atoms gain more electrons, and less neutrons(or vice versa, I forget the order). When you touch a doorknob after, the knob and your body(via socks) are evening out the amount of neutrons and electrons originally present. So, in conclusion, the frictional force increases because the static friction is increasing from the distributing of neutrons/electrons. Lemme guess: Finals?

Can the coefficient of static friction be equal to the coefficient of kinetic friction?

No, the coefficient of static friction is typically greater than the coefficient of kinetic 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.


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.


What is the function of coefficient of static friction?

This coefficient of static friction is needed to find the frictional force between a body and a surface on which body has to move. If u (mu) is the coefficient of friction then uR gives the frictional force between moving body and surface. There is no unit for coefficient of friction. Here R is reaction which equals to the weight of the body


How to find the coefficient of static friction on an incline?

To find the coefficient of static friction on an incline, you can use the formula: coefficient of static friction tan(angle of incline). Measure the angle of the incline using a protractor, then calculate the tangent of that angle to find the coefficient of static friction.

Describe the factors that cause static friction between two surfaces to increase.?

A higher coefficient of static friction increases the static frictional force. A greater normal force also does this.


What is the equation for static friction?

The equation for static friction is given by: f_s ≤ μ_s * N, where f_s is the static frictional force, μ_s is the coefficient of static friction, and N is the normal force acting on the object.


What does the slope of the static friction vs normal force represent?

What is coefficient of static force?

i guess the question should be coefficient of static friction force.if it is so then it is just a dimensionless quantity signifying the degree to which the frictional force can oppose relative motion and prevent any relative motion.

Is there a maximum size for the static frictional force?

When does friction become inter-atomic force? This is not a simple question to answer, if it has any answer at all. If you think of two deeply corrugated surfaces exactly interlocked with one another, and apply a sideways force, what is the friction component and what would be the force to deform the corrugations to allow movement?


What is the formula for calculating the coefficient of static friction on an inclined plane?

The formula for calculating the coefficient of static friction on an inclined plane is s tan(), where s is the coefficient of static friction and is the angle of inclination of the plane.
