Category: 17. Friction

Introduction There are numerous kinds of friction out there and one such friction is static friction which tends to keep an object in a state of rest. This friction is faced by people when they try to put the body in a state of motion over a surface. This force however does not trigger a…

Introduction Rolling friction is the type of friction in which the force resists the rolling object’s motion on the surface. Rolling friction assists in minimising the friction between the surface and an object which is relatively lower as compared to sliding friction. Rolling friction permits the object to go smoothly over the surface and roll…

Introduction Friction is very helpful in several cases as it offers a great quantity of measure to an object’s motion. For example, when a ball has thrown on the floor then it began to move with a few velocities. As per the first law of Newton the direction, of the motion direction determines the friction…

Introduction “Sliding friction” is an omnipresent force, in real-time daily operations. It is present in almost every form of human life and influences the motion of an object, especially when it is sliding on a surface or a floor. “Friction” is mostly generated when the floor or the surface is not perfect or smooth for…

Introduction Rolling friction and rolling resistance refer to the force that helps to resist the rolling motion of the machinery body of the surface. For example, it is commonly seen that pulling a heavy almirah on a rough surface is so tough but if an iron wheel is used then the pulling, the process becomes…
