    Frictional force is a force that opposes motion between two surfaces in contact with each other. How is frictional force affected by the area of contact? Frictional force is independent of the area of contact, meaning that the amount of surface area in contact between two objects does not affect the strength of the frictional force.

    Frictional force is a force that opposes the motion of an object when it is in contact with a surface. It is the result of microscopic bumps and ridges on the surface of objects that create resistance when they come into contact with each other.

    The average frictional force can be affected by several factors, including the type of surfaces in contact, the roughness of the surfaces, the normal force, and the presence of any lubricants or contaminants between the surfaces. Why is average frictional force important? Average frictional force is important because it plays a crucial role in ...

    A force P acts on a block weighing 45 N. The block is initially at rest on a plane inclined at angle 15 degrees. The positive direction of the x-axis is up the plane. Coefficient of static friction is us = .5 and uk = 0.34. Find frictional force in unit vector notation, when P = -5i...

  10. The relationship between friction and mass - Physics Forums

    www.physicsforums.com/threads/the-relationship-between-friction-and-mass.990451

    For static friction, increasing the normal force increases the maximum force of static friction. It does not necessarily increase the actual force of friction. Consider a block mass m resting on a horizontal surface. A horizontal force F is applied, but this is not enough to slide the block. The frictional force is therefore F.
