Question

What is rolling friction?How is rolling friction caused?

Answer 1

Rolling resistance, sometimes calledrolling friction or rolling drag, is the force resisting the motion when a body (such as a ball, tire, or wheel) rolls on a surface. ... Another cause of rolling resistance lies in the slippage between the wheel and the surface, which dissipates energy.

Answer 2

what is rolling friction?

when one body rolls over the surface of another body , the resistance to its motion is called rolling friction. rolling reduces friction.

causes of rolling friction:

Rolling friction takes place when an object rolls on the surface. Sliding friction takes place when two surfaces are rubbed against each other. Rolling friction takes place due to the deformation of surfaces. Sliding friction takes place due to interlocking between microscopic surfaces.

examples of rolling friction:

1.A basketball rolled on the court will eventually come to a halt because of rolling friction.

2.A bike with a broad tire will burn more fuel because of the increased rolling friction.

3.A ball rolled on a field will go lesser distance than a ball rolling on a concrete floor because it will experience greater rolling friction on the former surface.
