Question

What is friction? Give examples​

Answer 1

Answer:

Friction is the force that resists motion when the surface of one object comes in contact with the surface of another.

Explanation:

Skating – A thin film of water under the blade is necessary to make the skate slide. The heat generated by the skate blade rubbing against the surface of ice causes some of the ice to melt right below the blade where the skater glides over the ice. This water acts as a lubricant reducing friction.

Answer 2

Answer:

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.

example:

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
