Effect of Friction on Moving Objects

This post will be similar to the introductory post on friction, but will focus specifically on friction as it relates to moving objects. We know that friction is an opposing force. When an object is at rest, the force applied to begin movement must be stronger than the opposing frictional force. Once this condition has…...
