I was walking out of my physics class

And I hear a clatter and a clunk. A guy says "Jesus!"

And I look around the building and he is sitting on the ground, and his scientific calculator has fallen apart too. Well, the detachable cover came off.

I say "Slippery, huh?"

He says "Just a little bit," and gets up and takes his calculator, and walks in the direction I came from.

There was a patch of ice on the ground. Usually I'm the one to do something awkward and fall on my butt. For once, this time it was someone else.

Seems that there are certain places that are always in the shadows and the ice and snow doesn't melt there. They're a little bit dangerous... for whichever body part you might fall on.

Whooo, slow down theeree.. Woooooaaah...

Oh, right. Force of friction equals coefficient of friction times force normal.

Force normal is the amount that the ground pushes up on you to keep you from falling through it. Basically your weight.

Coefficient of friction is dependent upon the two surfaces in contact. Although rubber tends to have a high coefficient, ice is very low. Rubber on ice is somewhere from 0.1 to 0.4. Thus, there is little friction and you tend to slide.

Sometimes. We're doing electricity and magnetism this semester, and it's kind of difficult to grasp the concepts.
