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.
What do lubricants do to friction by replacing sliding friction with fluid friction?
Lubricants reduce friction by replacing sliding friction with fluid friction.
Which force is weakened when the floor is wet?
Friction is reduced on a wet floor.
What is the Physical concept of Force Friction and Mass?
The mass of an object is constant. The force of friction is a force that resists motion. When an object moves on a surface, the force of friction opposes the motion. Depending on the properties of the surface, the force of friction will change. This difference in frictional properties is demonstrated by 'mu' a greek symbol. Force of friction = mu x Force of gravity = mu x mass x acceleration due to gravity.Therefore, as the mass of an object increases, so does the force of friction that acts upon it while in motion. mu is a constant for a specific surface, so it is a value you have to be given in some cases in order to calculate the force of friction. Comparing ice and ashphalt, ice would have a lower friction coefficient, mu, than ashphalt would and therefore, the force of friction on any given mass moved on either surface would be greater on an ashphalt surface.
What is the symbol u in physics?
In physics, the symbol 'u' is often used to represent the coefficient of friction between two surfaces. It is a unitless quantity that indicates how effectively one surface resists sliding over another. The coefficient of friction can vary depending on the materials in contact and the conditions under which they interact.
What dose MU stand for?
The Greek letter μ, which is the symbol for the coefficient of friction, or the prefix micro-
What are the 2kinds of friction?

Which friction has least value option sliding friction static friction rolling friction Air friction?
i think it it rolling friction
What do lubricants do to friction by replacing sliding friction with fluid friction?
Lubricants reduce friction by replacing sliding friction with fluid friction.
Which friction is greater sliding friction or static friction?
Static friction
Which force is weakened when the floor is wet?
Friction is reduced on a wet floor.
What are the kinds of friction?
The types of friction include static friction (prevents objects from moving), kinetic friction (opposes motion of objects sliding past each other), and rolling friction (resists the motion of objects rolling across a surface).
Which kind of friction requires more force to overcome rolling friction friction or sliding friction?
Sliding Friction
4 types of friction and give an example of each?
Rolling Friction, Static Friction, Sliding Friction, & fluid Friction

What is non friction?
Non-friction is a concept that refers to a lack of resistance or opposition between two surfaces or objects in contact. In a non-friction scenario, there is no force acting to oppose the movement or sliding of one surface against another, resulting in smooth and effortless motion. However, in reality, complete non-friction conditions are rare as there is always some level of friction present.
What is the plural of friction?
the plural form of friction is friction
