<p>Group Member Names:</p><p>Force of Friction Activity:</p><p>You will record both Static and Kinetic (Sliding) Friction</p><p>To record Static Friction- use measurement of Force just before before it starts moving!</p><p>To record Kinetic Friction use measurement of Force that it takes to pull object at a constant velocity!</p><p>PROCEDURES: For Rough Surface Measurement: 1) Have group member hold down felt on desk. 2) Have another group member hook up spring scale (force meter) to box and place box open end up onto felt 3) Pull on force meter and measure force of static friction (just before it moves) and kinetic friction (moving at constant velocity) 4) Record values into table on back.</p><p>For smooth surface measurement (no added mass): 1) Remove felt from desk and put back. You will use smooth desk surface for this one. 2) Have another group member hook up spring scale (force meter) to box and place box open end up onto felt 3) Pull on force meter and measure force of static friction (just before it moves) and kinetic friction (moving at constant velocity) 4) Record values into table on back.</p><p>For smooth surface measurement (100g mass added): 1) You will use smooth desk surface for this one. 2) Have another group member hook up spring scale (force meter) to box and place box open end up onto desk. Add 100g mass into box. 3) Pull on force meter and measure force of static friction (just before it moves) and kinetic friction (moving at constant velocity) 4) Record values into table on back.</p><p>For smooth surface measurement (500g mass added): 1) You will use smooth desk surface for this one. 2) Have another group member hook up spring scale (force meter) to box and place box open end up onto desk. Add 500g mass into box. 3) Pull on force meter and measure force of static friction (just before it moves) and kinetic friction (moving at constant velocity) 4) Record values into table on back.
