Answer:
Friction acts as a resisting force which is generated , when two solid surfaces slide against one another. Examples :- <> For walking , there is a friction between our shoes / feet . <>There is a friction between the tires of a vehicle and between the road.
Explanation:
Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object by being in contact with it.
example: the break in a train engine. It consists of a piece of metal that is pressed (contact) to the rolling wheel to create a resistance to the movement, and thus, ultimately, bringing the convoy to a stop. Recall that the definition of mechanical force is F= m × a (force equals mass multiplied by the acceleration given to such a given mass). In a brake, because the friction is diminishing the velocity of the vehicle, i.e. de-accelerating it, the expression will be F= m × (-a) or -F = m × a.
