Computer-Vision Velocity Tracking Provides More Precise and Accurate Measurements of Kinetic Friction than the Traditional Angle-of-Slip Method

Chen Mo, Ren Yuqiao & Aditya Vishwakarma · Advances in Research · 2026

Measuring the kinetic friction coefficient μₖ via the traditional incline-plane method relies on visually judging when a block slides at constant velocity. This judgment is subjective and introduces significant, hard-to-quantify uncertainty. In this study, we replace visual judgm...
