Abstract
The coefficient of sliding friction is usually regarded as a constant for any given surfaces although it is sometimes known to vary with sliding speed. An experiment is described where the coefficient of friction for a billiard ball decreases to a very small value as the sliding speed decreases to zero, after which the ball starts rolling without sliding. A simple theoretical explanation is provided.
期刊介绍：
The mission of the American Journal of Physics (AJP) is to publish articles on the educational and cultural aspects of physics that are useful, interesting, and accessible to a diverse audience of physics students, educators, and researchers. Our audience generally reads outside their specialties to broaden their understanding of physics and to expand and enhance their pedagogical toolkits at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
