Answer:
The amount of friction created by a rolling object is less than the friction created by normal force. It is dramatically less than other types of friction, such as sliding friction.
There are various factors that can affect rolling friction such as:
Shape of wheel
The type of surface on which the wheel is rolling
Any movement of the surface or below the surface
Original speed of the wheel
Diameter of the wheel
Amount of pressure on the wheel
Adhesion of the surface
Any amount of sliding that occurs in addition to the rolling motion
Deformation of object or of surface
Over inflation of tires
Micro-sliding
Thickness of tread on tires
Shape of tread on tires
Material that wheel or ball is made of
Everyday Examples of Rolling Friction
A car will eventually come to a stop if just allowed to roll as the friction between the road surface and the wheels causes friction that causes the vehicle to stop.
Bike wheels that are thicker will lessen the potential speed of the bike because there is a greater wheel surface to create friction against the surface which will slow the bike.
Heavy duty trucks get greater gas mileage when tread begins to wear on the tires because there is less rolling friction, allowing the truck to move more quickly with less resistance.
