  2. 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.

  3. Playground slide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playground_slide

    A roller slide is a slide made of horizontal cylinders which spin underneath the person sliding as they travel down. Amusement-park slides are just larger versions of the playground slide, much higher and with multiple parallel slideways. Participants may be provided with a sack to sit on to reduce friction for higher speeds and to protect ...

  4. Stick–slip phenomenon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stick–slip_phenomenon

    The load then starts sliding, and the friction coefficient decreases to the value corresponding to load times the dynamic friction. Since this frictional force will be lower than the static value, the load accelerates until the decompressing spring can no longer generate enough force to overcome dynamic friction, and the load stops moving.

  5. 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.

  6. Friction Acoustics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction_Acoustics

    Vibrational energy induced by either kinetic or breakaway friction can cause modal excitation of a subset of the contacting bodies or the vibratory coupling of the multiple bodies, depending on the strength of coupling. Friction noise can be the product of multiple distinct dynamic processes, sliding and stick-slip. Sliding generally leads to ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouTube_Kids

    YouTube Kids has faced criticism from advocacy groups, particularly the Fairplay Organization, for concerns surrounding the app's use of commercial advertising, as well as algorithmic suggestions of videos that may be inappropriate for the app's target audience, as the app has been associated with a controversy surrounding disturbing or violent ...

    The actor went on to ask the villainous character if he enjoyed Carrey’s portrayal. "You know, they brought me in a couple days to do some consulting," he answered with a wink, adding that he ...

  9. Coulomb damping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulomb_damping

    Coulomb damping dissipates energy constantly because of sliding friction. The magnitude of sliding friction is a constant value; independent of surface area, displacement or position, and velocity. The system undergoing Coulomb damping is periodic or oscillating and restrained by the sliding friction.
