Friction Friction results from relative
motion between objects. Frictional forces are forces that
resist or oppose motion.
Coefficient of friction ()
—Feet on rocks = large
—Polar bear on ice = small

To solve for frictional force
To solve for normal force
To solve for coefficient of friction
Calculate force of friction
A box weighs 100 N (Fn).
As the box is pushed horizontally, the coefficient of sliding friction is 0.25.
Determine the force of friction resisting the motion.
To solve for frictional force:
Ff = Fn
Fn = 100 N Ff = (0.25)(100 N) Ff = 25 N
