force of friction

The force of friction is directly proportional to the applied load.

In general, the more complicated the wrap, the stronger the force of friction and the less effort required to hold oneself up.

All societies require materials and food to be transported over distances, generally against some force of friction.

The force of friction is independent of the apparent area of contact.

Replies: The force of friction that the tires experience is independent of the tire size, certainly.

While the opposing normal and gravitational forces still remain, to accelerate you're going to have to deal with the forces of friction.

"But if you release the force of friction by lubricating the base ... It would make a wonderful paper.

Moving through the thin cloud of nebulous material, the force of friction would be even greater, and could conceivably do some damage to the ship's skin.

To counteract this force of friction, we must generate a force in the opposite direction of the frictional force.

Replies: Yes, one would eventually come to rest at the center BUT because of the forces of friction (with the atmosphere in the hole).

Stick-slip is caused by the surfaces alternating between sticking to each other and sliding over each other, with a corresponding change in the force of friction.

The bursae, or fluid-filled sacs, serve as gliding surfaces for the tendons to reduce the force of friction as these tendons move.

The force of friction acts in the opposite direction of the direction of motion, resulting in a lower velocity and hence less kinetic energy.

In part this was due to an incomplete understanding of the sometimes non-obvious force of friction, and a consequently inadequate view of the nature of natural motion.

A coefficient of friction is a value that shows the relationship between the force of friction between two objects and the normal force between the objects.

The force of friction is always exerted in a direction that opposes movement (for kinetic friction) or potential movement (for static friction) between the two surfaces.

While we know that friction is present in actual systems, solving the model without friction can provide insights to the behavior of actual systems where the force of friction is negligible.

When a locomotive wheel spins without moving the train forward (also known as slipping), the small section of rail directly under the wheel is heated by the forces of friction between the wheel and itself.

The coefficient of friction (COF), often symbolized by the Greek letter , is a dimensionless scalar value which describes the ratio of the force of friction between two bodies and the force pressing them together.

As the tractor travels the course, the weights are pushed forward of the sled's axles, pushing the front of the sled into the ground, synthetically creating a gain in weight until the tractor is no longer able to overcome the force of friction.

By applying the proportionality of the force of friction to the normal force, , where is the kinetic coefficient of friction, it can be shown that the torque spinning up the mass is a factor of smaller than the torque applied to the shell.

If the component of the force from gravity parallel to the surface (mg sin θ) is greater than the static frictional force f - then the body will slide down the inclined plane with acceleration (g sin θ f/m), where f is the force of friction - otherwise it will remain stationary.
