Frictional Force Definition:

Frictional force refers to the force generated by two surfaces that contacts and slide
against each other. These forces are mainly affected by the surface texture and amount
of force impelling them together. The angle and position of the object affect the amount
of frictional force.
If an object is placed flat against an object, then the frictional force will be equal to the
weight of the object.
If an object is pushed against the surface, then the frictional force will be increased and
becomes more than the weight of the object.

Frictional force formula

The maximum amount of friction force that a surface can apply upon an object can be
easily calculated with the use of given formula:

Frictional force types

There are different types of frictional forces:
1. Dry Friction-It is the friction exists between any two objects that are in mechanical
contact and is normally assumed to be the influence of dry friction force. This force is
generated in the tangential direction of the plane of contact, and both the objects
prevent the movements between the surfaces.
2. Fluid Friction-Fluid Friction is the force that obstructs the flow of fluid. It is a situation
where the fluid provides resistance between the two surfaces. If both the surfaces offer
high resistance then it is known as high viscous and, generally we call them as greasy.

Examples of Fluid Friction:

1. To avoid creaking sounds from doors, we lubricate the door hinges which leads
to the smooth functioning of door hinges.
2. When you drop the ball in full bucket of water, water splashes out of the bucket
and is all because of buoyancy of fluid.
QUESTIONS:

1. How did you feel doing the experiment?

Answer: It gives me more learnings on how to how will happen when it move the object.

2. What are the different forces that you applied to move the books?
Answers: There are types of contact forces Normal force, applied forces. When I make it the
book will move.
3. What happened to the book after you pushed it on table or floor? Does it move fast?
Why?
Answer: when I push the table on the table or floor, of course it will move it does move
slowly because the force I made is normal.
5. When you pulled the textbook towards you. You could feel a force opposing you? What
force do you think is pushing against the back as you pulled it?

Answer: when I pulled the textbook towards me it has release a strength. Yes I can feel
opposing force because of its hard to pull the textbook it will release push and pull
alongside.
