Friction
comes into play when irregularities present
in the surfaces of two objects in contact get interlocked with each
other. Static friction comes into play when we try to move an object
which is at rest. Sliding friction comes into play when an object
slides over the surface of another object. In sliding friction, the
time given for interlocking is very small. Hence, interlocking is not
strong. Therefore, less force is required to overcome this
interlocking. Because of this reason, sliding friction is less than
static friction. Similarly, the area of contact in case of rolling
friction is smallest as compared to static or sliding friction. This
area of contact changes gradually because of rolling. Hence, rolling
friction is lesser than both static and sliding friction. Thus, the
correct sequence is—static, sliding, rolling.
