Question

What is the difference between rolling and sliding friction?

Answer 1

rolling friction acts on a body when its motion is pure rolling but during sliding its motion is rotatory as well as translatory

Answer 2

♥ The force resisting the motion of a rolling body on a surface is known as rolling friction .

E.g - Rolling of ball or wheel on the ground .

♥ Sliding friction is the restriction on the body’s movement as only one side of the body is in contact with the surface .

E.g - Pushing a box across the table .
