Physics 1501q - lecture 13 - friction 9/24/18. Key (in si units): t = time (s) x = distance (m) v = velocity (m/s) a = acceleration (m/s 2 ) = change in g = gravity = 9. 81 m/s 2 m = mass (kg) The friction force has a direction in opposition to the relative motion of the surfaces. The cause of friction is the roughness of the surfaces in contact with each other. Friction depends only on the properties of each surface. The magnitude of the friction force is proportional to the magnitude of the normal force. Where f k is the force of kinetic friction, k is the coefficient of kinetic friction, and n is the normal force. Object not moving relative to the surface f s . F s must be determined by newton"s 2nd law if f s . Box sliding on a horizontal table with initial velocity and friction:
