PhET Simulation: Friction Name: Juan Bernal Todaro__________________________ Date: 10/05/2020_____ Objective: To understand one relationship between frictional force and normal force. To calculate ... frictional force. 1. What is the formula for Fg (weight)? W= mg Define the following three terms: 2. Fn-Normal Force: It is a contact force. If two surfaces are not in contact, they can’t exert a normal force on each other. The normal force in other words is the force that surfaces exert to prevent solid object from passing through each other. 3. Fk-Kinetic Friction: Friction when an object slides along a surface. Direction is opposite the object’s sliding direction and is parallel to the contact surface. 4. Fs-Static Friction: Friction that prevents an object from sliding along a surface. Direction stops the object from sliding against another surface and is parallel to the contact surface.
