Question 1

What type of friction acts upon an object at rest?

  • Static Friction
  • Kinetic Friction
  • Both

💡 Hint: Think about the initial resistance before something starts moving.

Question 2

True or False: The coefficient of kinetic friction is usually greater than the coefficient of static friction.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider how easily something starts moving compared to staying in motion.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A 5 kg block slides down an inclined plane at 45 degrees with a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.2. Calculate the acceleration of the block.

💡 Hint: You’ll need to break down the forces acting along the incline.

Question 2

Design a small experiment to measure the coefficient of friction between two materials using a block and a scale. Detail your method.

💡 Hint: Think about how to effectively measure the forces involved.
