The candidate will give a 45 minute lecture on friction.
The lecture is intended to be given for bachelor students in the physics and astronomy program in their basic course in classical mechanics. You can assume that the students have sufficient mathematical background in calculus and have had a thorough introduction of Newton's laws previously during the course. In addition, the students are familiar with programming in Python and fundamental numerical methods, including methods for numerical integration. The goal of the lecture is to introduce the concept of static and kinematic friction, including a force model. The students are used to lectures containing active learning elements.
