The force of static friction is the force required to begin movement
The force of kinetic friction is the force required to keep the object moving
Through our experimentation with the friction lab, we discovered two new equations related to the standard y = mx+b:
F[s] = Mu[s] x F[N] and F[k] = Mu[k] x F[N]
To finish off the day, we received two packets of problems, one for these two new equations that we learned along with all three of Newton's laws, and another one to help us review for the final.
Real world connection:
With the olympics coming up, figure skating is deifinitely entertaining to watch. But, their speed is what makes it so awe-inspiring. The reason that they can go so fast is because their kinetic friction between the ice and their skate is little to none. As a result, they have the ability to travel much faster compared to being on the ground
