what is the meaning of friction and describe it's types
Answers
the rubbing of one surface or thing against another
Hey, Here is your answer......
Friction is defined as the force that opposes the motion of a solid object over another. There are mainly four types of friction: static friction, sliding friction, rolling friction, and fluid friction.
Static friction
the frictional force that acts between the surfaces when they are at rest with respect to each other.
For example:
- Skiing against the snow.
- Table lamp resting on the table.
Sliding friction
the resistance that is created between any two objects when they are sliding against each other.
For example:
- Sliding of the block across the floor.
- Two cards sliding against each other in a deck.
Rolling friction
the force which resists the motion of a ball or wheel and is the weakest types of friction.
For example:
- Rolling of the log on the ground.
- Wheels of the moving vehicles.
Fluid friction
the friction that exists between the layers of the fluid when they are moving relative to each other.
For example:
- The flow of ink in pens
- Swimming
