Understanding Friction Forces in Motion

The document presents friction problems related to a car accelerating due to friction and an exercise mat on a gym floor. It asks for the direction and type of frictional force acting on the car's tires, as well as calculations for the forces needed to move an exercise mat. The problems involve understanding static and kinetic friction coefficients.

Friction-

1) A car accelerates southward due to a frictional force between the road and
the tires.

1. In what direction is the frictional force of the road on the tires? Why
does that force exist?
2. Is the frictional force static or kinetic? Explain your answer.

2) The coefficients of friction between a 23-kg exercise mat and the gym
floor are µS = 0.43 and µK = 0.36.

1. Determine the magnitude of the minimum horizontal force needed to


start the mat moving.
2. Once the mat is moving, what magnitude of horizontal force will keep it
moving at a constant velocity?
