This document reports on a virtual lab experiment measuring friction. The experiment measured the coefficients of static and kinetic friction between different surface pairs: rubber on ice and aluminum on steel. The coefficients of static friction for these surface pairs ranged from 0.112 to 0.633. The experiment also measured the angle of repose for blocks on inclined planes with different surface materials, and calculated the coefficient of static friction which ranged from 0.26 to 0.52 based on the tangent of the measured angles.
