Question

Explain the laws of friction​

Answer 1

Answer:

When an object is moving, the friction is proportional and perpendicular to the normal force (N) Friction is independent of the area of contact so long as there is an area of contact. The coefficient of static friction is slightly greater than the coefficient of kinetic friction.

Answer 2

Explanation:

There are five laws of friction and they are:

1. The friction of the moving object is proportional and perpendicular to the normal force.
2. The friction experienced by the object is dependent on the nature of the surface it is in contact with.
3. Friction is independent of the area of contact as long as there is an area of contact.
4. Kinetic friction is independent of velocity.
5. The coefficient of static friction is greater than the coefficient of kinetic friction
