Friction Force Calculator

Typically between 0 and 1, though values above 1 occur for high-grip surfaces such as rubber on rubber.
Supplied instead of the normal force, which is then mass times gravity.

Deceleration from friction alone
4.903325 m/s^2
Worked out from Newtonian mechanics: v = dx/dt, F = ma, J = F dt = dp, and the work-energy relations and 2 other sources.

How this is worked out

2 steps
  1. F = mu N = 0.5 x 100 = 50 N
  2. Acting alone on 10.197162129779283 kg that is a deceleration of 4.903325 m/s^2.
