What forces slow you down while sliding on snow?

FRICTION


What is rolling friction?

Rolling friction is when an object that is rolling/sliding/moving on a surface is slowed down or stopped, because of the friction of the two objects rubbing against each other.


How can you measure rolling resistance?

Roll the object down an inclined plane. Adjust the angle so that the objects rolls down without sliding at a constant speed. When that happens, the tangent of the angle of the plane relative to the horizontal is the coefficient of rolling friction.


Neglecting air resistance and friction if a large block of ice and a small block of ice start sliding down an incline together the heavier block will get to the bottom of the incline when?

At the same time as the other peice of ice.

Yes.

What are different forms of friction?

Static friction and sliding friction. Static friction is the force that stops a mass from sliding and sliding friction is the force that slows down an object that is already sliding. Static friction is stronger than sliding friction, and this difference is reflected in different coefficients of friction for sliding and static friction for a given surface.


Is sliding friction the force that slows a book sliding on a table?

Yes, Sliding friction opposes the movement of the book, slowing it down.

What happens to the gravitational energy of a firefighter when he slides down the fire poles?

Due to friction


What are the 2kinds of friction?

Static Friction and Kinetic Friction. Static Friction is what friction that slows you down. While Kinetic friction is sliding friction.


Is sliding friction more than rolling friction?

Yes, sliding friction creates more thermal energy and wears down the two surfaces quicker than rolling friction.


What kind of friction will a car skidding down an icy road show?

Sliding Friction


1 what force prevents a heavy box from sliding along the floor when you push on it?

Sliding Friction If you push hard enough on the cardboard box filled with books, it will start sliding. If you stop pushing after the box starts sliding, it will slow down and stop. The force that acted on the box to slow it down was sliding friction. Sliding friction is the force that opposes the motion of two sliding surfaces in contact. Sliding friction exists between all sliding surfaces that are touching, such as the surfaces of the moving parts in a car's engine.

What type of friction is brushing your hair?

it is sliding friction,because you slide the brish down to your hair.


When friction is not helpful?

Friction can be helpful and not helpful it is not helpful when you are running because it slows you down hope that'll help!!!! ;)
