Friction, Coefficient of dynamic friction, Tribometer, ICT, Education

The Physics of friction is an important topic in the teaching of Physics at schools of all types and also of our everyday interest. Students, however, are often unable to imagine the applicability of what they learn to real-life situations, therefore, experiments should be an integral part of the teaching and learning of physics. The main objective of this experiment is to demonstrate static and dynamic friction on inclined plane with commonly used surfaces. Experiment have been designed as such that he is not not difficult for students and teachers and, at the same time, they use the basic concepts of friction to measure the coefficient of static and dynamic friction.
