This study guide covers friction in AP Physics 1, including kinetic friction (for sliding surfaces) and static friction (preventing sliding). It explains how to calculate friction forces using coefficients of friction and normal force, emphasizing the difference between static and kinetic friction. The guide also provides practice questions and exam tips covering free-body diagrams and problem-solving strategies involving Newton's Laws and energy.
