How does rolling friction differ from sliding friction?

Answer 1

friction is a eorce of contact between two surfaces which opposes motion of objects over one another. In rolling friction the area in contact between two objects is comparatively less then that in case of sliding as in rolling, one object just roll over each other hence area of contact is less so force of rolling friction is less than sliding friction.

Answer 2

Sliding friction is a frictional force that opposes the motion of two surfaces sliding past each other. Rolling friction, however, is a frictional force that prevents one object from rolling on a surface.

Answer 3

I would assume so because friction is caused when two objects rub against each other. If a cube slides down a ramp, it should have more friction than if it rolled down because its moving against something more.

Answer 4

Rolling friction is less than the sliding friction because the area of contact is smaller in rolling friction than in sliding friction.

The main advantage of this is that we can reduce the friction between the bodies which are sliding over each other by replacing the ball bearings and rollers.

Answer 5

Sliding friction is the force impeding movement as a result of two surfaces rubbing against one another. Imagine pushing a cardboard box of books across a concrete garage floor. Rolling friction refers to the frictional forces between a rolling tire and the pavement. The tire gets warm and an inflated tire rolls easier. The sliding friction is much more difficult to overcome than rolling friction.

Answer 6

Hope you mean rolling friction and sliding friction. Sliding friction will be more compared to that of rolling friction.

Answer 7

rolling friction is smaller than sliding friction..

Answer 8

The rolling friction is slightly less than the sliding friction because of the limiting forces.
