Solution

Friction.

The resistance to movement or locomotion of one item traveling compared to another would be defined as friction.

Advantages of friction are below:

  1. Automobile brakes employ friction just to stop the vehicle.
  2. It assists us in walking on the earth.
  3. Friction causes asteroids or stones to disintegrate throughout the atmosphere prior to actually approaching the entire planet (Earth).

Disadvantages of friction are below:

  1. Friction generates excessive heat, resulting in energy waste.
  2. A sum of investment is spent on avoiding friction as well as the mileage that it causes by adopting procedures such as lubricating.
  3. Because friction works in the reverse orientation of movement, it decreases the movement of shifting.
