Abstract
Curves are shown illustrating the effect of speed on the friction of teflon, bakelite, nylon, terylene, plexiglas (perspex), cellulose acetate, polystyrene, and polyethylene, sliding on ice at −5 °C. and −15 °C. Bakelite and teflon had the lowest kinetic friction of the materials examined. Terylene also slid easily but polyethylene had rather high friction. Departure from Amontons' Law was very evident at high speed.Keywords
