Lesson: Kinetic Friction Physics

In this lesson, we will learn how to analyze the forces acting on objects on frictional surfaces when they move along these surfaces.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

define the coefficient of kinetic friction, , using , where is an applied force parallel to a frictional surface that makes an angle with the horizontal,
understand how to determine the kinetic friction force on a moving object,
calculate the coefficient of kinetic friction between two surfaces.
