Kinetic Friction Sliding Sliding objects also have a frictional force exerted on them. This frictional force is kinetic friction. An approximate formula: mk is the coefficient of kinetic friction Continuing Motion Ffr = mkFN = mkmg cosq Compare to the downslope component of gravity Fgx = mg sinq. Block increases or decreases speed depending on which is greater. If equal there is constant velocity. Static vs. Kinetic Static and kinetic friction are similar. Force in opposite direction to motion Proportional to normal force Coefficient of friction depends on materials Static and kinetic f
