Best Answer

Rolling motion is easier than sliding motion because rolling motion has a lower friction force exerted upon the object than sliding motion.

Which is easier to stop sliding or rolling friction?

== == AnswersIt is easier to stop sliding friction than rolling friction. The force due to sliding friction will always be greater than the force due to rolling friction. And since friction force will be in the opposite direction of motion it will be easier to stop an object in motion that is sliding than one that is rolling.


It usually take more force to start an object sliding than it does to keep an object sliding because static friction is usually than sliding friction?

usually greater than the sliding friction


Does rolling friction tend to oppose motion more than sliding friction does?

Generally, sliding friction is much stronger than rolling friction.


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.


Why wheels help things move faster?

Because rolling friction is usually less than sliding friction. A cart will move easier than a sled.


What are advantages of wheel?

Rolling friction is less than sliding friction so it is easier to move heavier objects using wheels.


Is a softball motion easier than a baseball motion?

A softball pitch is a lot harder to master than a baseball pitch because the motion is so different than regular throwing. However, once the pitcher has the motion down, the softball pitch is much easier on the body than a baseball pitch. This is because the softball pitch is a lot smoother than the violent baseball pitch. It cause a lot less shoulder injuries than a baseball pitch.


What is the difference between an LG enV and an LG Rumor?

The enV flips open rather than sliding and the enV keys are much bigger than the Rumor. The rumor is a smaller phone, however width wise it is very thick. The rumor breaks easier because it is a sliding phone and phones that slife tend to break easier. Also, it depends on which enV you want.


Why is it easier to change the motion of an object with large mass than an object with a small mass?

Because it is lighter.


Which describes how sliding friction affects pushing a cereal box across a tabletop?

As you push a cereal box across a tabletop, the sliding friction acting on the cereal box acts in the direction opposite of motion.

What is the difference between sliding and rolling and kinetic and static friction?

Sliding friction is the friction between the body and the surface on which the body is sliding. Static friction however, is the friction when the body isn't moving when you aply force to it. The force of static friction is the same as the force you are pushing the body UNTIL it moves!..It's a fact that the static friction coefficient is a bit bigger than the sliding friction coefficient.
