Friction 摩
擦力 mó cā lì
is a force
力
lì
that opposes (goes against) motion. Friction
摩擦力 mó
cā lì
occurs between two surfaces 表面
biǎo miàn that are in contact 接
触 jiē chù.
If an object 物体 wù tǐ
lying on a surface is exerted (given) a push 推
tuī (force
力
lì) of F1 Newtons and the
frictional force
力
lì
that exists between the object 物
体 wù tǐ and the surface 表
面 biǎo miàn
is F2, then the resultant
force,
F
R is as follows.
Resultant force, FR
= F1- F2
According to Newton's 2nd Law of
Motion,
FR= ma
where
m = mass
质
量 zhì liàng
a = acceleration 加速度 jiā sù dù
Therefore,
FR = F1-
F2
or
ma = F1- F2
The object would then move at an acceleration 加速度 jiā sù dù of
a = (F1- F2) / m
if there is a positive resultant
force.
