Can someone explain slip friction. If a ball slips down a plane, it is known that the surface is frictionless. however that is not the case in real life. Does slip friction occur on surfaces with friction due to other phenomena/reasons

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm currently looking at stick-slip friction... is this possibly what i'm looking for?

OpenStudy (eyust707):

A rolling ball is static friction.

OpenStudy (eyust707):

Dragging your little sister across the hardwood floor is kinetic (slip) friction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes but it's possible for a ball in real life to slip and roll at different points in the plane correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what cause this change... does it have to do with the material of the board be not uniform?

OpenStudy (eyust707):

stick-slip friction is a combination of the two. It occurs in a dynamic system usually with a changing force.

OpenStudy (eyust707):

Elaborate what do you mean by slip and roll at different points in the plane?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does a ball rolling down a ramp experience both slip and static?

OpenStudy (eyust707):

no not under ideal condidtions, just static

OpenStudy (eyust707):

if the surface coefficient was not uniform or if the ramps angle from the horizontal was changing it could be possible to observe slip-stick.
