About this Simulation

This interactive simulation models the behaviour of static and kinetic friction acting on a 1 kg mass. Learners can observe how friction forces change as applied force increases, visualise the transition between static and kinetic states, and explore real-time graphs of velocity, acceleration, and motion dynamics.

Learning objectives: Understand the difference between static and kinetic friction | Analyse how friction forces affect acceleration and motion | Apply Newton's second law to friction scenarios
