HSVPL Friction!

The Friction lab uses a friction block to determine the coefficients of static friction and kinetic friction for two surfaces in contact. It is part of High School Virtual Physics Lab, a set of 24 iPad apps for use in the classroom. Funding for this project was provided under contract number ED-IES-11-C-0029 by the Institute of Education Sciences in the U.S. Department of Education through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program.
