Dynamics Practice – Friction Forces

One of the forces that we discuss when studying dynamics is friction.  Try completing these True and False questions below to see what you remember about the properties of friction and how it affects the movement of sliding objects.

Try a friction calculation.  Given the following situations solve the force of friction that would resist movement rounded to the nearest tenth of a Newton.

Below you will be provided with a variety of different situations about an object sitting on a surface.  Answer below what type of friction you feel is being described.  Static or Kinetic.
