It starts with 'F' and keeps things from sliding easily.
True or False: Static friction acts on moving objects.
Think about the term 'static' refers to.
A 10 kg box is pushed across a surface with a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.3. Calculate the frictional force acting on the box.
Don't forget to calculate the normal force first!
