Question
the choice of materials for an exciting playground slide should ____________. (1 point)
○ have a small coefficient of static friction between cloth and the slide material
○ have a small coefficient of kinetic friction between cloth and the slide material
○ have a large coefficient of kinetic friction between cloth and the slide material
○ have a large coefficient of static friction between cloth and the slide material
For an exciting playground slide, one wants the rider to slide down easily. Kinetic friction acts when the rider is in motion on the slide. A small coefficient of kinetic friction means less resistance to the motion, allowing for a faster and more exciting slide. Static friction is relevant for starting to move, but kinetic friction affects the sliding motion itself.
