6-1 Frictional Forces
Kinetic Friction
Kinetic friction: the friction experienced by surfaces sliding against one another
Static Friction
Real-World Physics – Tires use Static Friction!
Static Friction
(6-2)
where
(6-3)
The static frictional force is also independent of the area of contact and the relative speed of the surfaces.

1) the force from the rushing air pushed
it off
2) the force of friction pushed it off
3) no net force acted on the box
4) truck went into reverse by accident
5) none of the above
A box sits in a pickup truck
on a frictionless truck bed.
When the truck accelerates
forward, the box slides off
the back of the truck
because:
Generally, the reason that the box in the truck bed would move
with the truck is due to frictionfriction between the box and the bed.
If there is no friction, there is no force to push the box along, If there is no friction, there is no force to push the box along,
and it remains at rest.and it remains at rest. The truck accelerated away, essentially
leaving the box behind!!

Antilock brakes keep the
car wheels from locking
and skidding during a
sudden stop. Why does
this help slow the car
down?
1) k > s so sliding friction is better
2) k > s so static friction is better
3) s > k so sliding friction is better
4) s > k so static friction is better
5) none of the above

Antilock brakes keep the
car wheels from locking
and skidding during a
sudden stop. Why does
this help slow the car
down?
1) k > s so sliding friction is better
2) k > s so static friction is better
3) s > k so sliding friction is better
4) s > k so static friction is better
5) none of the above
Static friction is greater than sliding frictionStatic friction is greater than sliding friction, so
by keeping the wheels from skidding, the static
friction force will help slow the car down more
efficiently than the sliding friction that occurs
during a skid.

You tie a rope to a tree and you
pull on the rope with a force of
100 N. What is the tension in
the rope?
The tension in the rope is the force that the rope “feels”
across any section of it (or that you would feel if you
replaced a piece of the rope). Since you are pulling with
a force of 100 N, that is the tension in the rope.

6-3 Translational Equilibrium
When an object is in translational equilibrium, the net force on it is zero:

Example
• A picture hangs on the wall suspended by two strings, as shown in the figure. The tension in string 1 is 1.7 N.– Find the tension in string 2– Find the weight of the
picture
Group Exercise
• A spring with a force constant of 120 N/m is used to push a 0.27-kg block of wood against a wall, as shown in the figure. (a) Find the minimum compression of the spring needed to keep the block from falling, given that the coefficient of static friction between the block and the wall is 0.46.
6-4 Connected Objects
When forces are exerted on connected objects, their accelerations are the same.

Example
• Referring to the figure with masses shown, find the tension in the string connecting– m1 and m2
– m2 and m3. Assume the table is frictionless.
6-5 Circular Motion
An object moving in a circle must have a force acting on it; otherwise it would move in a straight line.
The direction of the force is towards the center of the circle.
Centripetal Force
This force may be provided by the tension in a string, the normal force, or friction, among others.
