Exercise 5: Discussion

Exercise 5.1 (5 marks)

Does friction always oppose motion (i.e., does it always act in the direction opposite to that of the moving object)? Does your answer change if it is static or kinetic friction? Can you describe a scenario for which static friction is responsible for forward motion?

Please keep your answer to half a page or less and feel free to use words, equations, diagrams, or all three, whatever helps you explain the physics. 

Before you’re finished!

This is the end, be sure you have completed (5.1), and any previous exercises, and have submitted them all through Crowdmark.

Congratulations on completing Lab 2!

Make sure you’ve handed in all graded components to Crowdmark for full marks.
