This Lab uses your phone (or an ipad) and an App called Phyphox. An alternative option is given for students who do not have the smartphone.
Introduction
Frictional forces between two solids arise from the interlocking between the two contact surfaces. The resistance to the motion (friction) typically is proportional to the force that pressures the two surfaces together and to the materials themself. This pressure force is perpendicular to the surfaces and it is called normal force N.
Imagine placing a block on a flat surface, like the floor for example, the normal force is the floor support force of the block against the pull down of the force of gravity. The normal force in this case is balancing the weight mg
of the block and it is equal to the weight of the block.
On an inclined plane, instead the supporting force N
is less than the weight mg
of the block and the block could slide down pulled by the force of gravity, precisely pulled by the component of the force of gravity along the inclined plane. Friction

Static friction is present when there is no motion of the objects and kinetic friction when there is a relative motion between the two objects surfaces. If you want to go more in depth, for a detailed derivation of the coefficient μ
using the formulae for weight and normal force, you may watch this 6.40 minutes video Introductory static friction on an incline
by Flipping Physics.
In this activity, you will use a method to find the coefficient of static friction between two surfaces. You will place a small object over a flat surface like a large book or a laptop, then slowly you will incline the flat surface until the small object starts to slide. You will record the angle of inclination using the phone.

If we call the angle that the inclined plane forms with the horizontal, the coefficient of 𝜭
friction μ (pronunciation "mu") is equal to the tangent of the angle .

For a better understanding of the steps, please watch the video called Statics Friction
Material needed
Any flat object (board, large book, your laptop). You will also use three objects that have
a flat side. You will put these objects on the incline and should ultimately slide downhill rather than roll downhill. These objects need to be made of different materials. Examples: an eraser, a small paper box, a game card, a small metal box. In addition, in order to measure the angle of inclination you will use the smartphone and the App Phyphox.
Starting hypothesis (2pt)
Using your experience, rank the three objects coefficients of friction from the highest (more friction) to the lowest (less friction). Write here your hypothesis.

[Answer] If the glasses cover has the highest friction, then the angle of inclination will be
lower. The glasses cover will have the most friction, second will be the cards box and the pipe basket will have the least friction.
Conduct the experiment
1.
Place the flat object on a flat horizontal surface like the floor or a table. Let us say
that you are using a large book with a hardcover as a flat object.
2.
On the book, place one of the three small objects you will be using to determine the coefficient of static friction and place also the phone. Please check our video explanation.
3.
On the Phyphox App select "Inclination". 4.
Maintain the first option " Flat tab" and start running the data collection. You will read the values on the "Tilt up/down" plot.
5.
Very slowly raise one end of the book up until the object just starts to slide down the incline. At the same time, hold the phone on the surface with your hand.
6.
The phone screen will display the increasing angle of inclination.
7.
Stop the data collection and tap on the screen.
8.
From the bottom of the screen select "Pan and Zoom" and then "Pick Data".
9.
Pick the angle that is the largest value during the inclination interval.
10.For each trial, take a screenshot of your smartphone with the point selected and include it at the end of the report. You should have a total of 9 screenshots at the
end of your report. 11. Report this angle on the table below in the "Results" section and calculate the value of μ
using the Eq. 1.
12.Repeat the same steps for two more trials and report the values of the angles and of the coefficients of static friction on the tables in the "Results" section.

1our answer i
partially correct.
A ski that is placed on snow will stick to the snow. However, when the ski is moved along the snow, the rubbing warms and partially
melts the snow, reducing the coefficient of kinetic friction and promoting sliding. Waxing the ski makes it water repellent and reduces
friction with the resulting layer of water. A magazine reports that a new type of plastic ski is especially water repellent and that, on a
gentle 210 m slope in the Alps, a skier reduced his top-to-bottom time from 61.0 s with standard skis to 43.0 s with the new skis.
Determine the magnitude of his average acceleration with (a) the standard skis and (b) the new skis. Assuming a 3.40° slope, compute
the coefficient of kinetic friction for (c) the standard skis and (d) the new skis.

One of the complicating factors in analyzing motion is the presence of friction. It is difficult to
isolate the effect of friction and to imagine what motion looks like without it. Newton's 2nd law of
motion states that a force applied to a mass will cause an acceleration, f = ma. UNLESS THE
PROBLEM STATES OTHERWISE, assume the experiments below are performed on a surface of
smooth ice so that the effect of friction is negligible.
1) a. Imagine a cube-shaped mass of 100 kg. If two people push it to the right, one with a force
of 150 N, and one with a force of 220 N, what acceleration should the cube experience?
