Name the three types of friction?

Three types of friction are : 1. Kinetic friction :Friction that arises between surfaces in relative motion. 2. Static friction :Friction that acts between surfaces at rest with respect to each other 3. Rolling friction : Friction that occurs when an object rolls over a surface. Static, sliding, rolling.
