    1) The experiment investigated friction in three situations: determining the average coefficient of friction between surfaces, finding the angle of repose, and finding the maximum force needed to initiate uniform motion. 2) The first part measured the coefficient of friction by placing a block on an inclined plane and adding weights until uniform sliding motion occurred. 3) The second part measured the angle of repose by gradually inclining a plane until a block placed on it just began to slide down. 4) The third part measured the maximum force by adjusting weights on an inclined plane set at 20 degrees until a block began uniform upward motion.

    I. ABSTRACT:
    Friction is a type of force that is the chief rival of motion because in each instance when an object moves by pushing
    it in a surface whether it is horizontal or inclined to an angle. We noticed that as the object proceeds friction will
    reduce the velocity of the body or stop it completely. Our primary task is to investigate friction in three key situations
    is by getting its average coefficient to be applied finding the angle of repose using it as a stepping stone and lastly find
    out the maximum force possible that the object produces which initiates uniform motion.

    II. OBJECTIVE:
    Our lesson is to be able to comprehend friction by achieving these objectives. First is to be able to execute the
    experiment properly and analyzed the data we gathered. Secondly is to calculate the results based from the data we
    collected and finally is to be able to critically compare them by getting the percentage based on our computed value
    and the value based from the data experimentally.

    III. RESULT AND DISCUSSION:


    Friction being the main antagonist of motion. We noticed that when you push a box to the right, the it is located at the
    left. The principal purpose in our experiment for today is to identify the average coefficient of friction (µ) amid the
    contact surfaces as one body moves with uniform motion and to generate a connection between the angle of repose
    (Ɵ) and (µ). The angle of repose is the angle that slows down when an object tilts downward because of its own
    weight, the angle that is in in the center of the horizontal and the slope is the angle of repose while the coefficient of
    friction is the quotient of the force of the friction among two objects and the force that is that is pressing them together.

    The first part of our experiment is to pinpoint the coefficient of Friction. We situated the wooden plane parallel to the
    plane that is lying flat on the surface, then we measure the weights that is being hang at the string. We supplemented
    another weight at the string for every trial. Based on the data that we amassed shows that the blocks tend to create a
    constant sliding motion along the plane whenever we add more weight.

    The second portion of our experiment is to look the angle of repose. We detached the string that is tied at the block.
    Then we slightly incline the plane by modifying its height, the maximum height that it attained while not moving is
    the angle of repose. Based on the data that we obtained, the angle is still constant even if we adjust the inclined plane.

    In the final portion of our experiment, we achieve the maximum force that causes uniform motion. We adjusted the
    angle of the inclined plane at 20 degrees then we adjust the weights of the pan that is hanging in the string until we
    observe the uniform upward motion of the block. Upon conducting the experiment and based on the data we obtained,
    the coefficient of friction has no relationship upon the area of contact.

    We ought to observe the uniform motion of a constant speed for us to gain a constant value in the coefficient of
    friction. In law of inertia, if the object is at rest, then it has no net force that is why the velocity is constant. So, the
    sum of the horizontal force and vertical force is zero. With this, we can compute the coefficient of friction. To be able
    to check whether our experimental value and calculated value align we must validate it by finding the percentage
    error.
