    Last Lecture Important Reminders Properties of Friction - Direction

    Applications of Newton s Three Laws

    Today Pset # 3 due here tomorrow at 10am. Always parallel to the surface
    Friction If you want to discuss your exam or general class If there is slipping, friction acts in the direction
    performance, contact me or your recitation opposite to the motion
    Important Concepts
    instructor during office hours or by appointment.
    The magnitude of friction depends on the magnitude of
    If there is not slipping, friction acts in the direction
    Students are often hesitant to do this but it is strongly needed to prevent motion
    the Normal force
    recommended. Dont be intimidated, we are here to
    The magnitude of friction depends on whether there is help you and want you to succeed. Note that its not always immediately obvious what
    motion along the surface (slipping or not slipping) direction this is, problems can get complicated!
    No class next Monday or Tuesday
    The magnitude of friction has a maximum possible value
    Next Mastering Physics due next Wednesday
    The coefficient of friction is often less when an object is
    slipping than when it is not slipping Next Pset due next Friday

    Properties of Friction - Magnitude Checklist for Friction Problems Summary


    ! ! ! ! ! !
    Slipping? ! F = ma ! F = ma ! F = ma
    Not slipping: The magnitude !
    of the friction force can Direction and magnitude of friction are unambiguous
    ! With friction, pay close attention to whether there is
    only be calculated from ! F = ma . However, it has a
    maximum value of f ! N Just about to slip? slipping, almost slipping, or no slipping
    s
    Magnitude of friction is unambiguous The procedure to solve problems is very different in the
    Just about to slip: f = N where N is the Normal three cases
    s
    force and s is the coefficient of static friction which Not slipping?
    is a constant that depends on the surfaces ! ! Think carefully about the direction of friction
    Magnitude of friction is totally unknown. Use ! F = ma
    Slipping: f = N where N is the Normal force and Dont make the careless mistake of blindly
    k Just about to slip or not slipping?
    k is the coefficient of kinetic friction which is a substituting f = N everywhere
    Direction of friction is opposite to direction it will slip
    s
    constant that depends on the surfaces Dont make the careless mistake of assuming you
    Find this direction by determining motion without friction
    Note: ! know the Normal force without checking other forces
    s k Sometime obvious, sometimes requires a calculation
