Friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material elements sliding against each other. There are several types of friction: Dry friction is a force that opposes the relative lateral motion of two solid surfaces in contact.
The frictional force between two bodies depends mainly on three factors: (i) the adhesion between body surfaces (ii) roughness of the surface (iii) deformation of bodies.
Everyday Examples of Sliding Friction:
- Rubbing both hands together to create heat.
- A sled sliding across snow or ice.
- Skis sliding against snow.
- A person sliding down a slide is an example of sliding friction.
- A coaster sliding against a table.
- A washing machine pushed along a floor.
- An iron being pushed across material.
