Determining Friction from the Stopping Distance 1. The simulation The code below shows what happens to a system that has an initial velocity, and then slides to a stop due to friction. 1. Try changing the coefficient of kinetic friction on line 13. What happens when you increase this value? 2. Now, return the coefficient of kinetic friction to its original value. Try changing the initial velocity (line 35). What happens when you increase (or decrease) this value? What form of initial energy are you changing when you change the initial velocity? 3. The system stops at the end of the path - it's lost it's initial energy. Where does this initial energy go?
