4. factors effecting Friction.
• 1. On the nature of the two surfaces that are
in contact.
• 2. On the force that is acting on these
surfaces.
5.
6. Types of friction.
• There are mainly four types of friction:
• 1.Static friction.
• 2. Sliding friction.
• 3.Rolling friction.
• 4. limiting friction.
7. Static friction
• Static friction is a force that keeps an object at
rest. Static friction definition can be written
as: The friction experienced when individuals
try to move a stationary object on a surface,
without actually triggering any relative motion
between the body and the surface on which it
is on.
8. Sliding friction
• We can define sliding
friction as the resistance
created by any two objects
when sliding against each
other.
Rolling friction
• Rolling friction, type of
friction that occurs when a
wheel, ball, or cylinder rolls
freely over a surface
9. Limiting friction
• Limiting friction is described as the friction
created when two static surfaces come into
contact with each other.
10. How is rolling friction caused?
• Rolling friction takes place when an object
rolls on the surface. Sliding friction takes place
when two surfaces are rubbed against each
other.
• Do you know friction is also caused in liquids?
12. Disadvantages of friction:
• Friction produces heat which damages the
moving parts of a machine.
• Friction produces wear and tear on the
contacting surfaces. This reduces the life of
machine parts, tyres and shoe soles.
• A lot of energy is wasted due to friction to
overcome it before moving.
13. Advantages of friction:
• Friction enables us to walk freely.
• It helps to support ladder against wall.
• It becomes possible to transfer one form of
energy to another.
• Objects can be piled up without slipping.
• Breaks of vehicles work due to friction.
14. Methods for Reducing friction:
• Make the surfaces little more smoother. ...
• Lubrication is another way to make a surface
smoother. ...
• Make the object more streamlined. ...
• Reduce the Normal force acting between the
surfaces in contact. ...
• Reduce the contact between the surfaces, so
that less number of bonds will be formed.
