What is the main role of friction in motion?
What is the main role of friction in motion?
- It acts in the same direction as the applied force.
- It has no effect on motion.
- It increases the speed of the moving object.
- It acts in the opposite direction to movement. (correct)
What does the coefficient of friction $\mu$ represent?
What does the coefficient of friction $\mu$ represent?
- The total distance an object travels.
- The speed at which an object begins to slide.
- The applied force on an object in motion.
- A constant value depending on the surfaces in contact. (correct)
Which equation correctly describes the relationship between initial velocity, final velocity, acceleration, and time?
Which equation correctly describes the relationship between initial velocity, final velocity, acceleration, and time?
- $d = v_i + at^2$
- $d = v_f t + rac{1}{2}at^2$
- $v_f = d + at$
- $v_f = v_i + at$ (correct)

Flashcards
Friction
Friction
A force that opposes motion between two surfaces in contact.
Static Friction
Static Friction
The force that prevents an object from moving when a force is applied to it. It increases proportionally to the applied force until it reaches a maximum.
Kinetic Friction
Kinetic Friction
The force that opposes the motion of an object already in motion. It's constant as long as the object continues to slide.
