How do the values of µs compare to the values of µk? (Of course, you can only compare them for the same pairs of materials.) Is the relationship between µs and µk what you expected? Explain. What are three reasons why friction is needed? Does the coefficient of friction change with mass? How can we reduce friction? What would happen if there was no friction? Does frictional force depend on mass? What are 3 factors that affect friction? Is friction affected by surface area? Can humans live without friction? Why is the coefficient of friction less than 1? Explain.

Many physical properties, such as force and mass, cannot be measured directly. Rather, some other physical property is measured and the desired physical property is computed from the results. For example, a bathroom scale does not actually measure mass or "weight," but rather the compression distance of a spring. The numerical values on the scale are calibrated from the compression distance using basic physics principles such as Newton's second law. Coefficients of friction cannot be measured directly. In this problem, we are going to learn how we can indirectly measure the coefficient of kinetic friction between two surfaces by directly measuring the expansion of a spring. Consider a 5.45 kg5.45 kg block that is dragged by a spring on a (relatively) frictionless horizontal surface at constant velocity. Suppose the block reaches a rough patch and the spring stretches by 5.25 cm5.25 cm. Compute the coefficient of kinetic friction ?μ between the block and the rough patch if the spring…

A dancer is standing on one leg on a drawbridge that is about to open. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the drawbridge and the dancer's foot are μs and μk, respectively. n⃗ represents the normal force exerted on the dancer by the bridge, and F⃗g represents the gravitational force exerted on the dancer, as shown in the drawing.(Figure 1). For all the questions, we can assume that the bridge is a perfectly flat surface and lacks the curvature characteristic of most bridges. Before the drawbridge starts to open, it is perfectly level with the ground. The dancer is standing still on one leg. What is the horizontal component of the friction force f⃗? (Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables n, μs, and/or μk.) (Figure 2). The drawbridge then starts to rise. The dancer continues to stand on one leg. The drawbridge stops just at the point where the dancer is on the verge of slipping. What is the magnitude f of the frictional force now? (Express…
