Finding the Static Friction of Student Shoes

Preview/Download

design experiment physics friction and traction

In this physics experiment, we will investigate and compare the traction of different shoes on a flat surface. By measuring the static friction and the coefficient of gravity, we aim to determine which shoe provides the best traction. Students conduct the experiment and draw a conclusion based on the collected data.
