  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. 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.

  4. 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 ...

  5. Kinetic energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_energy

    For example, for a speed of 10 km/s (22,000 mph) the correction to the non-relativistic kinetic energy is 0.0417 J/kg (on a non-relativistic kinetic energy of 50 MJ/kg) and for a speed of 100 km/s it is 417 J/kg (on a non-relativistic kinetic energy of 5 GJ/kg).

  6. Tribometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribometer

    To determine the kinetic coefficient of friction the hanging mass is increased or decreased until the mass system moves at a constant speed. In both cases, the coefficient of friction is simplified to the ratio of the two masses: = /

  7. 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 ...

    Churchill equation [24] (1977) is the only equation that can be evaluated for very slow flow (Reynolds number < 1), but the Cheng (2008), [25] and Bellos et al. (2018) [8] equations also return an approximately correct value for friction factor in the laminar flow region (Reynolds number < 2300). All of the others are for transitional and ...
