Kinetic Friction Coefficient

Kinetic friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces sliding against each other.

The friction force equals the normal force times the kinetic friction coefficient.

Formula

QuantityVariable[Subscript["F", "f"], "Force"] == QuantityVariable[Subscript["F", "n"], "Force"]*QuantityVariable[Subscript["μ", "k"], "KineticFrictionCoefficient"]

symbol description physical quantity
Ff friction force "Force"
Fn normal force "Force"
μk kinetic friction coefficient "KineticFrictionCoefficient"
