Topic: Friction
 What is Friction?

•FRICTIONIS THE FORCE THAT RESISTS

THE RELATIVE MOTION OF TWO
SURFACES IN CONTACT.
•ITIS CAUSED BY THE ROUGHNESS OF
THE SURFACES, WHICH INTERLOCK AND
CREATE FRICTIONAL RESISTANCE.
•FRICTION CAN BE BENEFICIAL, AS IT
HELPS US TO WALK, DRIVE, AND WRITE.
•HOWEVER, IT CAN ALSO BE HARMFUL,
AS IT CAN CAUSE WEAR AND TEAR ON
SURFACES AND OBJECTS.
 STATIC FRICTION

The friction that occurs when object are not

moving .
It is the friction that keeps object in place

Example
A box on the ground,your books,your chair are
the
Example of static friction
 SLIDING FRICTION
WE CAN DEFINE SLIDING FRICTION AS THE
RESISTANCE CREATED BY ANY TWO OBJECTS WHEN
SLIDING AGAINST EACH OTHER. THIS FRICTION IS
ALSO KNOWN AS KINETIC FRICTION AND IS DEFINED
AS THE FORCE THAT IS NEEDED TO KEEP A SURFACE
SLIDING ALONG ANOTHER SURFACE.

EXAMPLES OF
FRICTION
 ROLLING FRICTION
ROLLING RESISTANCE, SOMETIMES CALLED ROLLING
FRICTION OR ROLLING DRAG, IS THE FORCE RESISTING
THE MOTION WHEN A BODY ROLLS ON A SURFACE. IT IS
MAINLY CAUSED BY NON-ELASTIC EFFECTS; THAT IS, NOT
ALL THE ENERGY NEEDED FOR DEFORMATION OF THE
WHEEL, ROADBED, ETC., IS RECOVERED WHEN THE
PRESSURE IS REMOVED. ROLLING OF ONE SOLID OBJECT
OVER ANOTHER.
