Study Notes
Friction
- Friction opposes motion between two surfaces in contact.
- Kinetic friction acts when a surface is moving.
- The force of friction is proportional to the normal force pressing the surfaces together.
- Lubricants reduce friction by creating a thin layer between surfaces, reducing contact.
- Rolling friction occurs when an object rolls across a surface.
- Reducing friction in machines improves efficiency by minimizing energy loss.
- The force of friction always acts in the opposite direction of the motion or potential motion.
- An example of static friction in everyday life is a book resting on a table.
- Rolling friction is less than kinetic friction because the contact area is smaller, and there's less resistance.
- Static friction is the force preventing objects from moving when stationary.
