What is rolling friction and sliding friction?
I assume this relates to a wheel. When the wheel is rolling, the surface of the wheel is not moving relative to the surface of the road when they are in contact. however, the wheel deforms slightly and because of this, the normal force slightly opposing the motion of the wheel rather than simply pushing it up. This is rolling friction or more commonly known as static friction. When the wheel is sliding, the wheel is sliding over the road's surface, meaning that there is relative movement between the wheel and the road. this is known as sliding friction or kinetic friction.
Why it is easier to roll a barrel on road than to pull it?
When we roll a barrel on the road, rolling friction acts in the direction opposite to the direction of rolling. In case of pulling, kinetic friction acts opposite to the direction in which the barrel moves. The coefficient of rolling friction is almost always less than the coefficient of kinetic friction. So therefore, in layman's terms, rolling friction is less than kinetic friction, therefore less resistance is faced by the barrel while rolling.
Of the two forms of friction you studied friction is generally the hardest to overcome?
Static or Kinetic
What are two examples of friction?
Say you are driving a car or riding a motorcycle and you just remove you foot or hand from the accelerator. What will happen? After some time depending on your velocity, the vehicle will stop. Why? Consider your entire vehicle an ideal system meaning that no part provides any sort of friction. Now consider road, road is rough and will definitely provide friction. Since your vehicle's tires are rolling against the road, the road will provide friction in the direction opposite to that of your vehicle's motion. In real situations, both tire and road will contribute to the rolling friction.
Is the friction between car tires and pavement greater when the car is at rest or in motion?
Interesting - static friction is greater than moving friction; but if the car is not in a skid, then the part of the tires in contact with the road is not moving ... thus static friction holds in both cases.
What kind of friction is wheels rolling on a car?
kinetic friction, and this motion creates thermal energy from this friction. However the wheels moving on a car is directly created from the work of a combustion engine which creates multiple types of friction, chemical and thermal are the two major types.
What are Different between static friction and sliding friction and rolling friction?
Friction is a force between to surfaces that resists motion. Static friction is the resistance to motion when two surfaces are not moving relative to each other. Sliding friction is the resistance to motion when two surface are sliding, one over the other. Sliding friction is less than static friction for the same two surfaces. For rolling friction an object is rolling, like a tire on a road. It's what provides traction between the two and makes the car "go." For a tire on a road, rolling friction is less than sliding friction.

What is rolling friction and what does it do?
In general rolling friction is any friction specifically related to the rolling motion. The friction on the axle to hub bearing, the tire flexing, the tire tread on the surface of the road and so on.
What is a kind of friction between a wheel and the road?
It's called rolling friction.
What is the friction that results from your tires interacting with the road that allows your vehicle to move forward?
This type of friction is called static friction.

What is one example of rolling kinetic friction?
Anything with wheels, such as a car, would be an example of use of rolling kinetic friction.
Why does a ball stop rolling on rough road sooner than on a smooth road?
Because the rough road has more friction, thus expending the balls energy quicker than smooth road with less friction.
