  2. Friction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction

    Kinetic friction, also known as dynamic friction or sliding friction, occurs when two objects are moving relative to each other and rub together (like a sled on the ground). The coefficient of kinetic friction is typically denoted as μ k, and is usually less than the coefficient of static friction for the same materials.

  3. Coulomb damping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulomb_damping

    Kinetic friction on the other hand, occurs when two objects are undergoing relative motion, as they slide against each other. The force F k exerted between the moving objects is equal in magnitude to the product of the normal force N and the coefficient of kinetic friction μ k: | | =. Regardless of the mode, friction always acts to oppose the ...

  4. Coefficient of restitution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_restitution

    The COR is a property of a pair of objects in a collision, not a single object. If a given object collides with two different objects, each collision has its own COR. When a single object is described as having a given coefficient of restitution, as if it were an intrinsic property without reference to a second object, some assumptions have been made – for example that the collision is with ...

  5. Sliding (motion) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sliding_(motion)

    Sliding friction (also called kinetic friction) is a contact force that resists the sliding motion of two objects or an object and a surface. Sliding friction is almost always less than that of static friction; this is why it is easier to move an object once it starts moving rather than to get the object to begin moving from a rest position.

  6. Rolling resistance - Wikipedia

    As an alternative to using one can use , which is a different rolling resistance coefficient or coefficient of rolling friction with dimension of length. It is defined by the following formula: [ 3 ] F = N b r {\displaystyle F={\frac {Nb}{r}}} where

    The formulas for (), ^ (), ′ (,) are ... where is known as the kinetic friction coefficient, A is the area of the internal flow surface, is the shear stress ...

  8. Frictional contact mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frictional_contact_mechanics

    This theory is exact for the situation of an infinite friction coefficient in which case the slip area vanishes, and is approximative for non-vanishing creepages. It does assume Coulomb's friction law, which more or less requires (scrupulously) clean surfaces. This theory is for massive bodies such as the railway wheel-rail contact.

  9. Frictionless plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frictionless_plane

    where is the force of friction exerted by the object and the inclined plane on each other, parallel to the surface of the plane, is the normal force exerted by the object and the plane on each other, directed perpendicular to the plane, and is the coefficient of kinetic friction.
