Yes, you have it!EvilBunny said:Well I'd go with kinetic friction. As its asking me to find the acceleration , but it could be possible its 0 so I could verify if the force on the block is bigger then Fs which would mean it would slide , which would mean its kinetic only. Well I got it I think. Thank you
Friction is a force that resists the motion of an object as it moves along a surface or through a fluid. It is caused by the interaction between the surfaces of two objects in contact.
When an object is at rest, friction prevents it from moving by creating resistance against any external forces acting on it. This is known as static friction.
As the object starts to accelerate, the force of friction changes from static to kinetic friction. Kinetic friction is the resistance to motion when an object is already in motion. This force acts in the opposite direction of the object's motion, slowing it down.
The amount of friction experienced by an object depends on several factors, including the roughness of the surfaces in contact, the force pressing the surfaces together, and the type of material the surfaces are made of.
Friction can be reduced by using lubricants, smoothing or polishing the surfaces in contact, or reducing the force pressing the surfaces together. By reducing friction, the object will experience less resistance and can accelerate more easily.
