Sliding Book Example
• Why do things not continue to move at
constant velocity?
• If the sliding book slows down, what’s
the force responsible?
– How could I keep it moving at a constant
velocity?
– Do I need to apply a force to keep it
moving? Why?

• When we drew the box and floor,
with the “normal” force and the
force of gravity, these weren’t
strictly force pairs
– forces on the box that result in a Net
zero acceleration of the box
• The real pairs have to involve the
earth:
box
floor
earth
satellite
• Force Pairs:
• earth-box (grav)
• box-floor (contact)
• earth-satellite (grav)

QuestionsQuestions
• Does friction always exert a force
that tends to bring things to a halt?
• What does this say about the
direction of the frictional force,
relative to the velocity vector?
• What do you think would happen if
we loaded lead bricks into the box?
Would it become harder to slide?
• What are some ways to reduce
frictional forces?

Static and Sliding
(Dynamic) Friction
Static and Sliding
(Dynamic) Friction
• Static frictional force: when nothing is
sliding
• Sliding frictional force: when surfaces
are sliding
• Static frictional forces always greater
than sliding ones
• Static frictional force: when nothing is
sliding
• Sliding frictional force: when surfaces
are sliding
• Static frictional forces always greater

steel / steel 0.6 0.4
add grease to steel 0.1 0.05
metal / ice 0.022 0.02
brake lining / iron 0.4 0.3
tire / dry pavement 0.9 0.8
tire / wet pavement 0.8 0.7

Stay on the road!
• What does it take to stay on the road
around a curve?
– using µs = 0.8 as average for tires on road, Ffriction
= 0.8mg
• (Normal force is just mg on level surface)
Fcurve = macurve = m×v2
/r
• where r is radius of curve, say 50 m (e.g., cloverleaf
exit ramp)
• Got enough friction if Fcurve < Ffriction
– happens if v2
< 0.8gr, or v < 20 m/s = 44 m.p.h.

17. 17
Air Resistance
• We’re always “neglecting air
resistance” in physics
– Can be difficult to deal with
• Affects projectile motion
– Friction force opposes velocity
through medium
– Imposes horizontal force,
additional vertical forces
– Terminal velocity for falling
objects
• Dominant energy drain on
cars, bicyclists, planes

18. 18
Summary
– Every force has an equal, opposing
force
– Friction opposes motion, requiring
continued application of force to
maintain constant velocity
– Air resistance produces terminal
velocity, alters trajectories of
projectiles (for the worse).
