Hi everyone, I noticed something strange when I lifted my phone by its cable. My phone will remain connect to the cable for a few seconds before it disconnects and falls.
I understand that an object wouldn’t move unless a force has acted upon it. The fact that the phone remained connected for a few seconds suggests that friction is greater than weight of phone. But why is it that after a while, without any input of forces, the phone falls? Did the friction between the charge port and the cable get reduced?
Please help. Thanks!
