Questions and Answers

What is the maximum magnitude of the friction force in a given scenario?

  • Product of the normal force and the coefficient of friction
  • Product of the mass of the object and the acceleration due to gravity
  • Product of the mass of the object, the acceleration due to gravity, and the coefficient of friction (correct)
  • Product of the mass of the object and the coefficient of friction
  • Is the coefficient of friction a function of mass or volume?

  • No, it depends only on the mating materials and testing conditions (correct)
  • It depends on mass but not on volume
  • It depends on volume but not on mass
  • Yes, it depends on the mass and volume of the object
  • Does a large aluminum block in contact with steel have a different coefficient of friction than a small aluminum block contacting steel?

  • Yes, they have different coefficients of friction
  • The coefficient of friction is higher for the small block
  • No, they have the same coefficient of friction (correct)
