What is friction?
Think about what happens when you slide something.

Remember the force that slows objects down.
True or False: Rough surfaces have less friction than smooth surfaces.
Think about surface interactions.
A block with a mass of 10 kg is resting on a surface. If the coefficient of static friction is 0.4, what is the maximum static frictional force?
Remember to calculate the normal force using weight.
