10. If one surface slides over the other, being pressed together by a normal force N, a frictional force F resisting the motion must be overcome. The ratio F/N is called ______________
a) kinetic friction
b) dry friction
c) friction circle
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: If one surface slides over the other, being pressed together by a normal force N, a frictional force F resisting the motion must be overcome. The ratio F/N is called kinetic friction.
