Frictional Forces: Static and Kinetic
Newton's first law tells us that an object in motion will remain in motion, but we don't really see that on Earth, do we? If you throw a ball, or push a hockey puck, these things do eventually stop. Why? To answer this we must learn about static and kinetic friction!
