In today's episode, Shini tells us about Static and Kinetic friction. Why is it hard to move a heavy bookcase across a carpeted floor? And why is it easier to keep it moving than it was to get it ...

Show that static friction is greater than kinetic friction by pulling on a wooden box using a spring scale. Clamp the board to a table. (Optional) Select the 50 N scale on the force probe and connect ...

1.1 What is friction? Take this everyday example: when a coffee mug rests on a flat table, the kinetic frictional force is zero. There is no force trying to move the mug across the table, so there is ...
