Question

defination of rolling friction (in 2-3 lines) please tell fast ! Thanks

Answer 1

Answer:

>>> When a body slides (moves with all its surface area in contact) over another body, the resistance faced is due to sliding friction. On the other hand, if a body rolls (moves with just a single point of its surface in contact) over another body, the resistance offered is a case of rolling friction.

Rolling friction is generally lesser than sliding friction. In rolling, the surfaces in contact don't rub against each other as they do in sliding friction. An example is the case of tires in vehicles. When they are moving on the road, some rolling friction acts on them. When the brakes are applied, rolling motion is reduced and sliding friction takes over to slow down the vehicle.

Answer 2

Answer:

Rolling resistance, sometimes called rolling friction or rolling drag, is the force resisting the motion when a body rolls on a surface. It is mainly caused by non-elastic effects; that is, not all the energy needed for deformation of the wheel, roadbed, etc., is recovered when the pressure is removed
