If you try to slide two objects past each other, a small amount of force will result in no motion. The force of friction is greater than the applied force. |
Static Friction |
You do not need to apply quite as much force to keep the object sliding as you needed to break free of static friction originally. |
Kinetic Fiction |
When we walk, we push back against the ground allowing us to move forward. Without friction, our feet would slip, and walking would be impossible. |
Helpful Friction |
We need friction between car tires and the road for the car to travel the road safely, but prolonged friction results in worn-out tires. |
Harmful Friction |
A center-directed force that continuously changes the direction of an object to make it move in a circle. |
Centripetal Force |
the force perpendicular to the velocity of an object moving along a curved path. |
