What are the differences between static, rolling and sliding friction?
Friction is an opposing force that exists between two surfaces which are in contact. It helps us a lot in doing many activities.
1. Static friction
This friction occurs when a body rests on the ground. For example, while trekking, the friction between your shoe and the ground helps in climbing the mountain.
2. Sliding friction
This friction occurs when a body slides on the ground. For example, while writing with a pencil the pencil lead slides on the paper. The friction between lead and the paper is good enough to leave a watermark on the paper.
3. Rolling friction
This type of friction occurs between rolling objects and the ground. For example, the friction between the tires and the ground, etc.
