Question 3

What is Sliding Friction?

Answer 3

• Sliding Friction also known as Kinetic Friction, is called a contact force that resists sliding motion of two objects or an object and a surface.

Question 4

What is Rolling Friction?

Answer 4

• Rolling resistance, sometimes called rolling friction or rolling drag, is the force resisting the motion when a body (such as a ball, tire, or wheel) rolls on a surface.
• Rolling friction, also known as rolling resistance, occurs when an object rolls over a surface. It’s the force that resists the motion of a rolling object, like a ball or a wheel.
