(a) What is the maximum frictional force in the knee joint of a person who supports 66.0 kg of her mass on that knee? (b) During strenuous exercise, it is possible to exert forces to the joints that are easily 10 times greater than the weight being supported. What is the maximum force of friction under such conditions? The frictional forces in joints are relatively small in all circumstances except when the joints deteriorate, such as from injury or arthritis. Increased frictional forces can cause further damage and pam.
If a single constant force acts on an object that moves on a straight line, the objects velocity is a linear function of time. The equation v = vi + at gives its velocity v as a function of time, where a is its constant acceleration. What if velocity is instead a linear function of position? Assume that as a particular object moves through a resistive medium, its speed decreases as described by the equation v = vi kx, where k is a constant coefficient and x is the position of the object. Find the law describing the total force acting on this object.
If you press a book flat against a vertical wall with your hand, in what direction is the friction force exerted by the wall on the book? (a) downward (b) upward (c) out from the wall (d) into the wall.
A toy rocket engine is securely fastened to a large puck that can glide with negligible friction over a horizontal surface, taken as the xy plane. The 4.00-kg puck has a velocity of 3.00im/s at one instant. Eight seconds later, its velocity is (8i+10j)m/s. Assuming the rocket engine exerts a constant horizontal force, find (a) the components of the force and (b) its magnitude.
When does kinetic friction occur in trying to push a heavy object? O when the object is still when the force you apply is smaller than the maximum static frictional force O when the force you apply is larger than the maximum static frictional force O just before enough force is applied to move the object when the force you apply is insufficient to set the object in motion

The coefficient of static friction between a rubber tire and dry pavement is about 0.800. Assume that a car's engine only turns the two rear wheels and that the weight of the car is uniformly distributed over all four wheels. What limit does the coefficient of static friction place on the time fmin required for a car to accelerate from rest to 50.0 mph (22.4 m/s)? Imin = How can friction accelerate a car forward when friction opposes motion?
As a car goes up a hill, there is a force of friction between the road and the tires rolling on the road. The maximum force of friction is equal to: O the weight of the car.

Which of the following is TRUE about the friction force between two surfaces? Mark only one. The surfaces must be in contact with each other in order to have friction. The surfaces must be moving against each other in order to have friction. O The magnitude of the friction force depends on the types of materials present, the force of contact between them, and the surface area of the objects. The magnitude of the friction force increases as the relative speed of the objects increases
