Frictional Forces: Static and Kinetic

Newton's first law tells us that an object in motion will remain in motion, but we don't really see that on earth, do we? If you throw a ball, or push a hockey puck, these things do eventually stop. Why? To answer this we must learn about static and kinetic friction!

    There is no certain direction for a frictional force to be acted. It is always resistive to a motion or to an attempt to the motion. When the block moves or tends to move down, frictional force would act up the incline. When the block moves or tends to move up, the frictional force would act down the incline. Thanks.

    FYI for people watching this, Fstatic is NOT always greater than Fkinetic. The magnitude of Fstatic depends on how much other force acting parallel to the surface exists. Fstatic can be as much as 0 N if there are no forces trying to slide the object across the surface.

    It is very clear that, any conservative force must be accompanied with a kind of potential energy. But Nonconservative forces are not. By the way, conservative force is defined by the equation of F = dU/dx. Where dU is the differential of potential energy. Work done against a conservative force will result an increase in the kind of potential energy and vise versa. Work done by a nonconservative force will definitely waste the energy which is not reversible as dU. Thank you Sir.

    As you know, F=MA And the block travels downwards with acceleration "a". Frictional force always opposes the motion of a surface over another surface. So as the frictional force increases, the acceleration of the block decreases. Therefore, the friction force will be negative because it affects the acceleration. And when acceleration is affected, the force will also be affected. This means Fnet = mg sin 35° - Ff.

    May I have a question. At 1:27 you said the interaction between atoms in the object and atoms in the surface is an attractive interaction. But shouldn't it be repulsive instead? Because the interaction here is between electrons of the object's atoms and electrons of the surface's atoms, both are negatively charged, so they should repel each other instead of attract, right? And if they repel each other, logically this interaction should help facilitate the motion by pushing the two surfaces away from each other. But in fact, motion is hindered. Could you explain how it works?

  • @kazuhiramiller7752

    Atoms that are stable have no net charge. The atom consists of protons as well which cancels the effect of negatively charged electrons. In an atom (which is not an ion) the number of protons and electrons are equal and both of them have the same charge.(i.e charge in a single proton= charge in a single electron) . ( This is 100% true) But the thing is that, even if two charged bodies are interacting still friction will act upon them. Considering that the bodies are big(big enough that we can see them). This is classical physics. Here we deal with objects that are not very small. (Although I am not 100% sure about this one)

    @@suzuki12334 The easiest way to decide what needs to be sine and cosine, is to inspect the limiting cases. When theta = 0, the sine = 0, and the cosine = 1. Vice-versa happens, when theta = 90 degrees. With your intuition, think about what will realistically happen when the angle is zero, and when the angle is 90 degrees. If the force in question should also be zero when theta =0, then it is most likely going to be sine. If the force in question should be its full amount when theta=0, then it should be cosine. You might have a tangent instead of sine, so also check the other limit. See if it should be cosine, when theta=90 degrees, to conclusively determine that it should be sine.

    To be fair, mass is not required to solve the check comprehension problem. Net force equals Fnet = mgsin(α) - μmgcos(α) = mg(sin(α)-μcos(α)). Now a = Fnet/m therefore masses cancel out and we have final formula a = g(sin(α)-μcos(α)).

    I have a question: Why is static friction used to walk forward? I know our foot pushes backwards, and the friction lets us go forward, but i thought that static friction only resisted the initiation of motion. Is there an another definition for static friction or am i just not understanding this concept correctly?

    It is only locally that static friction opposes the initiation of motion. Locally at the point of contact between two objects. The static friction in this example, is what stops your foot from moving backwards as you push it backwards while trying to walk. If you were on a truly frictionless surface, your foot would slide backwards and you would run in place if you tried to walk. Think of the Earth's surface a "work mirror". You push backward on the ground, by pushing your foot backward while it is in contact with the ground. By Newton's third law, the ground also pushes forward on your foot with an equal and opposite force. The force on the ground by your foot, cannot practically do any measurable amount of work on the Earth, because of the Earth's inertia is so large that its motion due to this force is immeasurably small. Instead what happens, is that the ground reflects this force back to you, through its third law pair of this force, as the ground applies a forward force to your foot, while your body moves.

    i think its your definition of kinetic friction is very misleading. A car is moving but it is experiencing static friction, not kinetic. Kinetic is only when objects are sliding. When you ski on a car, that's static friction. When there's anti-lock brakes, it prevents you from skidding, keeping static friction there. Since static friction > kinetic, the car will slow down faster if it doesn't slide.

    The reason for ABS brakes on cars, is so you can continue to steer while you are braking. A secondary benefit is that you have a greater static friction coefficient than a kinetic friction coefficient, so you can in concept slow down faster. ABS brakes keep the friction with the road in the static friction regime, while the kinetic friction remains in the brakes between the shoe and the drum. If your brakes lock up, and the tires skid on the road, steering does you no good, as kinetic friction can only apply a force that is opposed to velocity. Whereas static friction can apply a force that is partially opposite velocity, enabling you to steer. Static friction is a constraint force that prevents your wheel-road contact from skidding.

    Given what information? Unless you are given the information that allows you to reverse these formulas and calculate the coefficients of friction, there is no way to calculate it from first principles and only the identity of the materials. This is information you look up in a reference table, in order to determine. Or you experimentally measure it yourself.

    It is either given in the problem data or we have to calculate by using all these formulas. It is actually experimentally determined & calculated value for each & every pair of materials under loading conditions. Found to be with some variations affected under temperature, surface roughness quality & many more factors. At 11th-12th & undergraduate engineering level only its available values are used. But how actually these values are came which is studied in Masters & doctorate levels with the domains of "Tribology" & "Surface Engineering" under the branches of Mechanical, Materials, Civil engineering & all.

    Friction does not, depends upon mass,and contact area? How it is possible because as mass and contact area increses their is more adhesion between surfaces of two objects, so more force is required and so equal and opposite reverse friction force operate. Kindly clear my doubt

    The unitless friction coefficient is independent of mass and surface area. It depends on the identities of the two surfaces, the conditions of the two surfaces, and whether the friction is static or kinetic. From a first order overview of friction, it is independent of surface area. The surface area ends up "cancelling out" of the equation. The friction force itself, will indirectly depend on mass, because it depends on the normal force, which is usually a reaction force to the object's weight, in some form or another.

    Question - how can F=ma if F is a variable? In a previous video we see how a puck requires very little force to move across ice, but put that same puck on sandpaper and it'll require more force to move it in the same manner. Is it just that when dealing with additional forces such as friction, "F=ma" becomes Fnet=ma?

  • @carultch

    @carultch

    3 жыл бұрын

    It always is Fnet = m*a. We just get away with omitting the subscript of "net" when we are only dealing with one force that makes a difference in the object's acceleration. When the puck moves across the ice, there are two significant forces which you ignored completely. Namely, the weight of the puck, and the normal force of the ice pushing upward on the puck. These forces add up to zero, by the nature of the normal force, since the normal force will be as large as necessary within the strength of the materials, to prevent penetration. Because these forces add up to zero, they cancel out of the equation of Fnet=m*a.

    Hello, love the videos! Just a quick problem I'm having in the comprehension section though. Just before comprehension, you say that cos theta and normal force cancel each other out so to find the net force we just have to take the sum of the frictional force and sin theta. But, then in the comprehension section you solve suing cos theta instead of sin theta. Should cos not have cancelled out with the normal friction and as such not even be a part of the solution? I used sin 35 instead and got 0.325m/second^2 as my final acceleration and I'm not sure why this isn't correct
