Today, we'll introduce the idea of quantifying friction. We'll talk about where friction is helpful (walking and braking) where it is not (in lab situations). We'll also talk about the difference between static friction and kinetic friction. We'll talk about how to increase the friction between two surfaces (think Mr. Miyagi from Karate Kid). Finally, we'll do a lab to find the mathematical relationship between the normal force and the force of friction.
Handout: Friction Lab - Write your responses on a separate sheet of paper to be turned in.
Virtual Alternative: LAB - Friction (virtual) if you are absent. Make a copy into your own Google Drive.
Homework: Finish what you can in the Friction Lab. Whole lab is due at the end of class on Tuesday, October 27th, but you really should be able to finish it in class today. ❗Assessment of all of Newton's Laws in 1-D next class - Tuesday, October 27th.
Homework: Watch the following video on friction so that you'll know how to solve friction problems next time.
❗Assessment of all of Newton's Laws in 1-D TODAY!
Friction Lab due at the end of class.
Homework:
Today, we'll first recap with this Friction Presentation. If you did not watch the friction video, watch that first. Then, we'll work on on friction problems from the test bank collaboratively.
Homework: Work on any problems you did not finish above.
Optional Extra Practice: Chapter 5 in your 📖textbook: #27, 29, 31, 32, 71, 73 also available in Mastering Physics so you can check your answers. You may also try #11-17 on page 2 of Big Newton's Law Packet. SOLUTIONS to pp 1-2 of Packet.
