A
Sliding Friction, Rolling Friction, Fluid Friction and Static Friction
2
Q
Define Sliding Friction
A
The resistance when 2 objects are sliding against one another
[eg. Ice skating]
3
Q
Define Rolling Friction
A
When something is slowed when rolling
[eg. bowling ball]
4
Q

A
It is a force that both helps stop and start motion
5
Q

[eg. golf ball in air]
6
