Differentiate between sliding friction and rolling friction?

Open in App

Solution

Sliding friction Rolling friction
1. When an object slides over the surface of another object then the force of friction generated between the two surfaces is known as sliding friction.
1. When an object rolls over the surface of another object, then the force of friction generated between two surfaces is known as rolling friction.

2. This is also known as kinetic friction and is defined as a force that is needed to keep a surface sliding along another surface.
2. The force resisting the motion of a rolling body on a surface is known as rolling friction.
3. When we rub our hands together, heat is created between both the hands, this is due to the sliding friction generated between both the hands. 3. We see basketball rolls on the court will eventually come to a halt because of rolling friction.
