Four Types Of Friction Flashcards
1
Q
Static friction
A
A force that prevents 2 surfaces from moving past each other at all (stuck). Static friction is the strongest amount of friction.
2
Q
Sliding friction
A
A force that opposes 2 surfaces from sliding past each other.
3
Q
Rolling friction
A
A force between a rolling object and the surface it rolls on. It is the weakest kind friction.
4
Q
Fluid friction
A
A force that opposes the motion of objects as they move through fluids (air, water, etc.)
