Frictionless Surface

Definition

A frictionless surface refers to a hypothetical surface where there is no resistance to motion. It assumes that there is no force opposing the movement of an object.

Normal Force:

The normal force is the force exerted by a surface perpendicular to the contact point and opposes an object's weight.

Inclined Plane: An inclined plane is a flat surface that is tilted at an angle, which can reduce the effective force required to move an object up or down.

Coefficient of Friction:

The coefficient of friction quantifies the amount of friction between two surfaces and determines how much force is needed to overcome it.
