This reaction is a force of resistance called the friction. Frictional forces inhibit or prevent slipping Provided that there is no slipping at the contact surface and that the body is not accelerating, experimental studies have shown that the frictional force is related to the normal contact force by the equation: F=us M Where F is the static frictional force and N is the normal contact force. The constant us is called the If the body is accelerating, then the frictional force has a value less than the static value. This frictional force, F, called the kinetic frictional force and is related to the normal force as F=uk where uk is the coefficient of kinetic friction. Values of uk are as much as 25% smaller than values for u 3. Dynamics Dynamics Kinematics Kinetics 1).
