Frictional Forces

The origin of friction: Even
“smooth” surfaces have
irregularities when viewed at the
microscopic level. This type of
roughness contributes to friction.

Two types of friction:


Kinetic friction
Static friction

Kinetic Friction

Kinetic friction fk: The friction encountered when
surfaces slide against one another with a finite
relative speed.



Direction of the force of kinetic friction: Kinetic
friction fk acts to oppose the sliding motion at the point
of contact between the surfaces.
Magnitude of the force of kinetic friction: In general,
the force of kinetic friction is found to be proportional to
the magnitude of the normal force, N, or fk = kN.
The constant of proportionality, k, is referred to as the
coefficient of kinetic friction.

Kinetic Friction: Example 1

Someone at the other end of
the table asks you to pass
the salt. You slide the 50.0-g
salt shaker in their direction,
giving it an initial speed of
1.15 m/s.

(a) If the shaker comes to a
rest with constant acceleration
in 0.840 m, what is the
coefficient of kinetic friction
between the shaker and the
table?

Kinetic Friction: Example 2

A trained sea lion slides
from rest with constant
acceleration down a 3.0-mlong ramp into a pool of
water. If the ramp is inclined
at an angle of 23 above the
horizontal and the
coefficient of kinetic friction
between the sea lion and
the ramp is 0.26, how long
does it take for the sea lion
to make a splash in the
pool?

Static Friction

Static friction fs: Static friction tends to keep
two surfaces from moving relative to one
another.




There is an upper limit to the force that can be
exerted by static friction, fs,max.
fs,max = sN. The constant of proportionality is called
s, the coefficient of static friction.
Magnitude: The force of static friction, fs, can have
any value between zero and fs,max.
Direction: The direction of fs is parallel to the surface
of contact, and opposite to the direction the object
would move if there
no1151
friction.

Static Friction: Example
A flatbed truck slowly tilts its
bed upward to dispose of a
95.0-kg crate. For small angles
of tilt the crate stays put, but
when the tilt angle exceeds
23.3 the crate begins to slide.
 (a) What is the coefficient of
static friction between the
bed of the truck and the
crate?
 (b) Find the magnitude of
the static friction acting on
the crate.

Strings and Tension: Example

To hang a 6.20 kg
pot of flowers, a
gardener uses two
wires-one attached
horizontally to a
wall, the other
sloping at an angle
of  = 40.0 and
attached to the
ceiling. Find the
tension in each wire. Dr. Jie Zou

Springs and Hooke’s Law

(Ideal) Springs and Hooke’s Law



Magnitude of the spring force: The spring force
is proportional to the amount, x, by which it is
stretched or compressed.
Direction of the spring force: Opposite to the
displacement from the equilibrium length of the
spring.
Hooke’s Law: F = - k x.


k: Force constant of the spring, units: N/m.
x: displacement from the equilibrium length of the
spring

Springs and Hooke’s Law:
Example

A 1.50-kg object hangs motionless from
a spring with a force constant k = 250
N/m. How far is the spring stretched
from its equilibrium length?

Connected Objects

A block of mass m1 slides
on a frictionless tabletop.
It is connected to a string
that passes over a pulley
and suspends a mass m2.
Find (a) the acceleration
of the masses and (b) the
tension in the string.

Circular Motion

Centripetal acceleration, acp:



Newton’s 2nd Law applied to circular
motion:


To make an object move
in a circle with constant
speed, a force must act on
it that is directed toward
the center of the circle.

Direction: Directed toward the center of the
circle
Magnitude: acp = v2/r, where v = speed and r
= radius
The centripetal force is proportional to the
centripetal acceleration.
fcp = macp
Centripetal force, fcp:


Direction: Directed toward the center of the
circle
Magnitude: fcp = macp = mv2/r

Circular Motion: Example

A 1200-kg car rounds a corner of radius r = 45
m. If the coefficient of static friction between
the tires and the road is s = 0.82, what is the
greatest speed the car can have in the corner
without skidding?
