Applied Mechanics and Graphic Statics
A particle moves along a straight line such that distance ‘x’ traversed in ‘t’ seconds is given by x = t²(t + 1), the acceleration of the particle, will be
The force of friction always acts in a direction opposite to that in which a body is moving
The magnitude of the kinetic friction bears a constant ratio to the normal reaction between two surfaces. The ratio being slightly less than that in the case of limiting friction
For moderate speeds the force of friction remains constant but decreases slightly with the increase of speed
