Differentiate between Rolling, Static, and sliding friction

Open in App

Solution

Dear student

Static Friction
It is the friction that exists between a stationary object and the surface on which it's resting. It's highest in magnitude

Eg:-A lady pushing a box.

Sliding friction

It is the resistance created by two objects sliding against each other. It's smaller than static but higher than rolling

Eg:-rubbing hands together to create heat.

Rolling friction:-

It is the force resisting the motion when a body rolls on a surface. It's lowest in magnitude as compared to others

Eg:-Ball rolling down on table
