breaking and
motion. It is caused by the __________________
re-forming of electromagnetic bonds between
______________________________________

2. Friction usually results in __________
molecules in
motion energy is transferred to ______________
the object and its environment. This results in a
phase change

Three basic types of friction:
fluid
A._____________
friction– due to collisions with
fluid molecules; increases with speed
water or air resistance
Ex: _________________________________
rolling
B._____________
friction –reduces amount of
surface contact
friction because there is less __________________

flat
C. ______________
friction – when two _______
sliding
surfaces slide past each other; what we

In either static or kinetic friction, sliding friction
depends on two factors:
nature of the surfaces

LESS
Usually, smoother surfaces  __________
friction
presses the surfaces together
2. The force that________________________________

For maximum static Ff,max, use:
Ff = ____
mk N
For kinetic Ff,k, use:
Ff = ____F
Ex: A 12,000-N crate is on waxed skis on snow.
Find the force needed to…1/ start it moving, and
2/ keep it moving at constant velocity
FN = 12,000 N
w = 12,000 N
1/ max. static: Ff = mFN = msFN
= (0.14) (12,000 N)
= 1700 N
Ff = mFN = mkFN
2/ kinetic:

(0.05) (12,000 N)
600 N
How would your answers change if another
2000 N were added to the sled?
