Inclined Planes with Friction definitions Flashcards

A flat surface tilted at an angle, used to help raise or lower objects.

The friction force that prevents an object from moving when a force is applied.

The friction force acting on an object in motion, opposing its movement.

A force that opposes the relative motion or tendency of such motion of two surfaces in contact.

A graphical representation used to visualize the forces acting on an object.

The force perpendicular to the surface of contact, supporting the weight of an object.

The angle at which an object on an inclined plane starts to slide or slides at constant velocity.

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

A dimensionless scalar value representing the ratio of kinetic friction force to the normal force.

The overall force acting on an object when all the individual forces are combined.

A principle stating that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it.

Mathematical relationships involving angles and sides of triangles, used to solve problems in physics.

A state where the sum of forces and moments on an object is zero, resulting in no acceleration.

A trigonometric function relating the opposite side to the adjacent side of a right triangle.

A function used to determine an angle whose tangent is a given number.
