1. What causes friction?


- It has been theorized that the friction is caused by the interaction between the
tiny bumps on the surfaces. These interactions help prevent the surfaces from
sliding over each other.
2. How does friction affects motion?
- The friction force of a moving object causes it to slow down and lose its energy.
3. What are the types of motion?
- There are four basic types of motion that we can observe in mechanics. These are:
rotary, oscillating, linear, and reciprocating.

Static Friction

Is produced when a body at

rest begins to move.

Is produced when this body Is produced when a

is already in motion. body rolls on a surface,

deforming one or both of

them.

Sliding Friction Rolling Friction


Compare:

The equality of these three types of friction is that they produce heat
and make movement difficult.
