Friction- A force that acts upon objects to resist change in motion.
If you try to push a car up a slick, icy hill, it will be easier than trying to push the same truck up a dirt road with lots of gravel. Why? Because the dirt and gravel rub against the tires to help the truck resist motion.

∙ 13y agoThe fact that you can walk without sliding is an example of friction.
When you fall, your skin rubs up against the floor, and you get wounds.

What is an example of fluid friction?
example of fluid friction are air resistance or drag because an object moving through air actually collides with miniature particles, specially dust particles .
An example of fluid friction?
An airplane flying through the air, a swimmer diving into a pool etc.
What is the mathematical equation for friction?
An important formula is that friction = (coefficient of friction) x (normal force).
How is friction good and bad?
Friction is good because it provides traction. Friction is necessary for people to stand, or for vehicles to accelerate or break. Friction can also be used to convert kinetic energy to heat or electrical energy. Friction can be bad because kinetic energy is can be lost to friction.
How does friction affect shoes?
Low friction is slippery high friction has good traction. In the sport of Curling (gliding those heavy granite stones on ice towards a bullseye) one shoe has low friction (to slide on the ice) the other has high friction (to propel the player).
What is an non-example of Friction?
An example of a non-frictional force is gravitational force. For example, when an object is in free fall, there is no friction acting on it.
What is a example of fluid friction?
An example of fluid friction is the air resistance felt by an airplane.
4 types of friction and give an example of each?
Rolling Friction, Static Friction, Sliding Friction, & fluid Friction
Is there example of friction?
Yes, one example of friction is when you rub your hands together and feel them warm up due to friction between the surfaces of your hands.
What is an example of rubbing friction?
An example of rubbing friction is when you rub your hands together. This creates heat due to the force of friction between your hands.
What is 1 example of low friction?
Ice skating is because you dont go fast and there is rarely any friction
What example of unuseful friction?
An example of unuseful friction is when trying to push a heavy object on a rough surface where the friction makes it difficult to move the object smoothly.
What is examples of friction?
The fact that you can walk without sliding is an example of friction.
The friction between a book at rest and the desk it is lying on is an example of what?
This is the example of Newton third law and law of inertia.
Give an example of sliding friction?
Pushing a box along the floor is an example of sliding friction. The resistance encountered when trying to slide an object across a surface is due to the sliding friction between the two materials.
What is a Example of negative friction?
An example of negative friction is when a sled on a perfectly icy slope has too little friction to slow it down, causing it to slide uncontrollably at high speeds.
What is the example of a advantage friction?
rubbing your hands together produce heat that is friction.
