We put Lucas Oil's friction-fighting formula to the ultimate test on this B18C VTEC engine. The friction-fighting properties of synthetic lubricants have been well established by now.

And the maximum static friction is just equal to the coefficient of (static friction) x (the normal force) -- so, plugging in the numbers, we find that it's 169.91 Newtons.

Researchers have demonstrated how to entirely suppress static friction between two surfaces. This means that even a minuscule force suffices to set objects in motion. Especially in micromechanical ...

Estimate the Friction Coefficient in That Massive Nascar Pile-Up A crash knocked 21 cars out of the Daytona 500. But good news: Everyone walked away, and the video makes for a cool physics problem.
