Types of
Friction
Kinetic: Moving
Example: Sliding books across a
tabletop.
Static: Not Moving
Example: When you push on a piece of
furniture and it doesn´t move
Kinetic Energy
Kinetic friction is very useful in everyday life. You use
sliding kinetic friction when you apply the brakes on a
bicycle and when you write with a pencil or a piece of
chalk. You also use sliding kinetic friction when you
scratch a part of your body that is itchy!
Rolling kinetic friction is an important part of almost all
means of transportation. Anything that has wheels—
bicycles, in-line skates, cars, trains, and planes—uses
rolling kinetic friction.
Kinetic Energy
Static Energy
When a force is applied to an object but does not cause the object
to move, static friction occurs. The object does not move because
the force of static friction balances the force applied. Static
friction can be overcome by applying a large enough force. Static
friction disappears as soon as an object starts moving, and then
kinetic friction immediately occurs. Look at Figure 4 to
understand under what conditions static friction affects an object.

HARMFUL OR
HELPFUL???
Friction is both harmful and helpful to you and the world
around you. Friction can cause holes in your socks and in the
knees of your jeans. Friction by wind and water can cause
erosion of the topsoil that nourishes plants. On the other hand,
friction between your pencil and your paper is necessary to
allow the pencil to leave a mark. Without friction, you would
just slip and fall when you tried to walk. Because friction can
be both harmful and helpful, it is sometimes necessary to
decrease or increase friction.

How can we
reduce
friction?
One way to reduce friction is to use lubricants.
Lubricants are substances that are applied to
surfaces to reduce the friction between the
surfaces. Some examples of common lubricants are
motor oil, wax, and grease. Lubricants are usually
liquids, but they can be solids or gases. An example
of a gas lubricant is the air that comes out of the tiny
holes of an air-hockey table.
