 What is friction? 💫
Friction is the force that resists motion when the surface of
one object comes in contact with the surface of another.
🌠 frictional force opposes relative motion
what are the causes of friction?
the strength of the force of friction depends on two factors : how
hard the surfaces push together and the types of surfaces
involved
⭐ smooth surfaces have less friction ; bumpy surfaces have more
⭐Friction acts in a direction opposite to the direction of the
object’s motion
Static friction💎
🌠friction that acts on an object that is in rest
🌠static friction opposes impending motion
🌠 when there is no applied force , there is no static friction
🌠 once the object starts moving there is no longer static force
Sliding friction💎
🌟 occurs when two objects slide over each other
🌟 sliding friction is weaker than static friction that’s why it is easy to slide
an object.
🌟 sliding friction is also called as kinetic friction.
Rolling friction💎
🌠occurs when an object rolls along a surface
🌠The force resisting the motion of a rolling body on a surface is known
as rolling friction 
🌠easier to overcome than sliding friction
Some examples
Strongest to weakest
☐static
☐sliding
☐rolling
Difference between static and kinetic
friction
Static friction✨
🌸 Static friction is the friction
present between two or more
objects that are not moving with
respect to each other.
🌸 The magnitude of static friction
is greater due to the greater value
of its coefficient
kinetic friction✨
🌸 Kinetic friction is the friction
present between two or more
objects that are in motion with
respect to each other.
🌸 The magnitude of the kinetic
friction is comparatively lesser
due to the low value of its
coefficient
🌸The equation representing static
friction is given by:
Fs max = µs η
• Fs is the force of static friction
• µs is the coefficient of static
friction
• η is the normal force
• Fs max is the maximum force of
static friction
🌸The equation representing
kinetic friction is given by:
Fk= μk η
• Fk is the force of kinetic
friction
• μk is the coefficient of kinetic
friction
• η is the normal force
Advantages and disadvantages of
friction
Advantages ✨
🌠Friction is responsible for many types
of motion
🌠 It helps us walk on the ground
🌠 Brakes in a car make use of friction to
stop the car
🌠 Asteroids are burnt in the atmosphere
before reaching Earth due to friction.
🌠 It helps in the generation of heat when
we rub our hands.
Disadvantages ✨
🌠 Friction produces unnecessary heat
leading to the wastage of energy.
🌠 The force of friction acts in the opposite
direction of motion, so friction slows down
the motion of moving objects.
🌠 Forest fires are caused due to the friction
between tree branches.
🌠 A lot of money goes into preventing friction
and the usual wear and tear caused by it by
using techniques like greasing and oiling.
