Friction (static and kinetic): A contact force opposing relative motion or tendency of motion. Static friction prevents sliding; kinetic friction opposes sliding motion. f = mu * N.
How to apply it: Apply the friction equation to determine whether an object will slide on an incline or remain stationary.
