Question
- what are the two main types of friction?
- ______ friction is the amount of resistance to motion when an object is static or not moving.
- ______ friction is the resistance on a moving object.
- ______ friction is caused by a combination of the resistance due to the roughness of the surface and the molecular attractions trying to hold the sur-faces together.
- once an object is moving, the amount of friction is ______ than when it was standing still.
- ______ friction is primarily caused by the stickiness of the surfaces.
Response
Question 1
Brief Explanations
In physics (a subfield of Natural Science), the two main types of friction are static friction (acting on non - moving objects) and kinetic friction (acting on moving objects).
Brief Explanations
By the definition of static friction, it is the frictional force that opposes the start of motion, i.e., it is the resistance to motion when an object is at rest (static).
Brief Explanations
Kinetic friction is defined as the frictional force that acts on an object that is in motion. It opposes the motion of the moving object.
