Static and Kinetic Friction

Kinetic friction comes into existence when there are moving surfaces means in other words we can say that the force which comes into existing between moving surfaces is known as kinetic friction.

A 17-kg sled is being pulled along the horizontal snow-covered ground by a horizontal force of 30 N. Starting from rest, the sled attains a speed of 1.9 m/s in 8.6 m. Find the coefficient of kinetic friction between the runners of the sled and the snow. Number i eTextbook and Media Units
A rectangular block has a length that is five times its width and a height that is three times its width. The blocks surfaces are all identical except for size. When the block is placed on a horizontal tabletop so that the area in contact with the table is length width, it is found that a horizontal force of 10.0 N applied to the block is just sufficient to overcome the static friction force and cause the block to move. The block is then knocked over so that the area in contact with the table is length height. Now, what minimum horizontal force will cause the block to move? Explain.
In many textbook problems, we ignore certain complications such as friction and drag. The problems contain key words that indicate such a simplification is being used. For example, if a surface is described as slippery, it means that we can ignore friction. Look at the previous chapters problem sets. Find five uses of these key words and explain how to interpret each case.

Return to Example 9.9 and use the result to find the tension in the rope. Example 9.9 Snow Tubing At a winter recreation resort, snow tubers at the bottom of the hill hook their tubes to a tow rope. A motor pulls the rope so that tubers move at constant velocity to the top of the hill. (Ignore the momentary acceleration of the tuber when he first attaches his tube to the rope.) The coefficient of kinetic friction between the tube and the snow is k = 0.16. A boy and his tube with a total weight of 415 N are pulled a distance of 255 m up the 18 incline (Fig. 9.29). Consider the Earth, the boy, his tube, and the snow along his path to make up the system. Find the energy transferred from the motor to the system via the work done by the rope. FIGURE 9.29
