Newton's Laws & Friction
Normal force (N = mg)98.1 N
Limiting friction (μN)29.4 N
Friction force now20.0 N
Net force0.0 N
Acceleration0.00 m/s²
StateStationary
- Push hard enough to make the block start moving
- Push the block (applied force above 0) but keep it stationary — friction is holding it there
- Get the acceleration to exactly 2 m/s²
- Switch to ice and get the block moving with less than 10 N of applied force
- Switch to rubber and still get the block moving
