Stacked Blocks definitions Flashcards

The force preventing relative motion between two surfaces in contact, acting in the direction of motion.

The force opposing relative motion between two surfaces sliding past each other.

The perpendicular force exerted by a surface to support the weight of an object resting on it.

A graphical representation showing all the forces acting on an object.

A dimensionless value representing the ratio of maximum static friction force to the normal force.

A hypothetical surface with no resistance to motion, allowing free movement of objects.

The highest acceleration that can be applied without causing relative motion between stacked objects.

A pair of forces described by Newton's third law, where two objects exert equal and opposite forces on each other.

The force due to gravity acting on an object's mass, directed towards the center of the Earth.

The velocity of one object as observed from another object, indicating their motion relative to each other.

The force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material elements sliding against each other.

The normal force acting between two stacked blocks, equal to the weight of the top block.

The rate of change of velocity of an object, influenced by applied forces.

Objects that interact through forces, such as tension or friction, affecting each other's motion.

The highest value of static friction before transitioning to kinetic friction, calculated using the normal force and coefficient.
