Graph showing Force vs Time of a block pull across a tile floor. The Maximum static friction is shown as a peak before the kinetic friction levels off. Beside it is the setup of wooden blocks with a case of pop on top as additoinal mass.

My current hack: Pulling to constant speed immediately seems to how the Fsmax peak best.
Does anyone in #EduSky have tips for smoother data? Is there a "magic" surface I’m missing?

Last week started #SPH3U electromagnetism unit by visualizing magnetic field lines. Always a great engaging lesson, especially seeing field lines in 3 dimensions! #ITeachPhysics
