FRICTION PROBLEMS
Ex) A 5.0 kg Steel block is resting on a *horizontal table*. The coefficient of static friction (us) is 0.75 and the uk is 0.57. a) What minimum force is needed to start this block moving?
fs= Fnus = Fgus = mgus
fs = mgus
= 5.0 kg(9.8 m/s2)(.75)
= 37. N
b) What is the frictional force on this object as it moves?
fk = mguk = 5.0 kg(9.8 m/s2)(.57)
= 28 N
c) What force must be applied to the object to keep it moving at constant velocity? (Hint: Fnet = 0) At Constant velocity
F applied = friction force
= 28 N
Friction Questions
Coefficients of Friction & F = ma
Remember ... Static Friction fs = UsFn Kinetic Friction fk = UkFn
Ex 1) A 1000. N car skids on a wet concrete road. If the road is horizontal, what is the friction force on the car?
w = 1000. N Uk = .58 fk =
fk = UkFg = .58 x 1000. N
= 5.8 x 102 N
Ex 2) A skier is being pulled along a horizontal surface at constant speed with a force of 50. N. What is the weight of the skier?
At constant speed:
fk = 50. N w = ?
uk = .05 fk =ukFg 50. N = .05[Fg] w = 1000 N
Ex 3) A 10.
kg block of
wood sliding on a horizontal
wooden table is
brought to rest.
What is the
force on the block of wood that
caused it to stop? The force of kinetic friction fk = ?
Uk = .30
fk = Fnuk = Fguk = mguk
fk = mguk
fk
= (10. kg)(9.8 m/s2).30 = 29. N
Ex 4) A 53. kg block, slowed by friction, has an acceleration of -0.1 m/s2. What is the force of friction on the block?
m = 53. kg a = -.10 m/s2
fk = F = ma
fk=F = 53. kg(-.10 m/s2)
= -5.3 N
Ex 5)
A force of 8.0 N gives
a
3.0 kg
mass an acceleration of 2.0 m/s2
to the
right. Fapplied
= 8.0 N Right
m = 3.0 kg
a = 2.0 m/s2 Right
Fnet = ma = 3.0 kg(2.0 m/s2 )
= 6.0 N
What friction force will produce a net force of 6.0 N?
friction = 2 N left
