    Friction is a force that resists the motion of objects in contact with each other. There are different types of friction including static, sliding, and fluid friction. Friction acts opposite the direction of motion and depends on factors like surface roughness.

    FRICTION

    • Any force that resists motion


    • It involves objects that are in
    contact with each other.
    • This is the force that keeps an
    object from sliding down and
    incline plane.
    Friction
    • Friction is a force that
    resists the motion of
    two surfaces that are
    touching.
    Types of Friction
    • Static..prevents objects sliding

    • *Sliding...resists objects while they are


    moving

    • *Fluid…air or water
    Examples of Friction

    • Tires on the road


    • Walking/Running
    • Nails into wood
    • Sled on hill
    • Without friction, an object would continue
    to move at constant speed forever.

    • The strength of the force of friction depends


    on the type of surfaces and how hard the
    surfaces push together.

    • Rough surfaces produce greater friction


    than smooth surfaces.
    Principles of Friction
    • Friction acts parallel to the surface that are
    in contact.
    • The direction that friction acts is
    OPPOSITE the direction of the motion (or
    intended motion).

    Sliding Friction
    • A resistance to movement
    that is created when two
    things rub together.
    Fluid Friction
    • The force that tries to slow objects down
    when they move through a liquid or a gas.
    It's also known as "drag", or "air
    resistance".
    • All gases and liquids are fluids.
    • An airplane and a swimmer both experience
    fluid friction.
     Static Friction – the frictional force present
    just before motion begins. Starting Friction
    is when Static Friction is at is maximum.
     Kinetic Friction – the frictional force
    present with motion
    Note: Static Friction is usually higher than
    Kinetic Friction
