Consider an aluminum annular disk with an outer radius 63.2 mm
and inner radius 7.9 mm. The mass of the disk is 464 grams
(HINT: the parameters of the disk are the same as
in the previous pre-lab).
The disk is allowed to rotate on a frictionless table with the
rotation axis at its center. The disk has a small pulley rigidly
mounted at the top concentrically. The pulley's radius is 12.1 mm,
and the mass of the pulley is negligible. A string is wrapped
around the pulley, and a hanging mass of 19.8 g is tied at the
other end of the string. When the mass falls under gravity, it
causes the aluminum annular disk to rotate. Ignore the string's
mass, and assume that the string's motion is frictionless.
What is the angular speed of the aluminum disk when the mass has
fallen 14.5 cm?
ω = _____ rad/s
How long does it take for the mass to reach this point?
t= _____s

Friction
Friction resists motion. If an object is stationary, friction tries to keep it from beginning to move. If an object is moving, friction slows it down and tries to stop it.
In all cases all you need to do is add an extra arrow (vector) to your free-body diagram. This new arrow always points opposite the direction of motion. When you use Newton's law to sum the forces, there will be one more term in the equation.
The magnitude of this new arrow/term is always given by Ff = μ FN where
μ is the "coefficient of friction", a number (theat you generally look up on a table) that tells how hard it is to slide two objects in contact.FN is the "Normal Force", or how hard the surface pushes up on the object. Generally you find the Normal force by summing all the forces in the y-direction and solving for FN. Most often however, if there aren't any forces acting in the y-direction other than gravity and the normal force, then for horizontal surfaces, FN = mg. Therefore, Ff = μmgfor inclined plane surfaces, FN = mg cos θ. Therefore, Ff = μmg cos θ

1. Advanced skiers turn by sliding the backs of their skis across the snow. Since the fronts of their skis don’t move much, the skis end up pointed in a new direction.
a. The amount of sideways force that a skier must exert on the skis to slide them sideways is proportional to how hard the skis press down on the snow beneath them. Why?
b. Less skilled skiers sometimes turn without unweighting—they push their skis sideways so hard that the skis slide anyway. This technique is exhausting. Why does it require so much work?
c. Why is wax used on skis? Why wouldn’t WD-40 work as well as the wax? What is in WD-40?
