Friction is all around you. Anytime you have two objects touching but moving past each other, there is friction. (Superfluids and hypothesized supersolids are exceptions.) Your bike driving down the road will slow down and stop if you just coast. Newton showed that the natural state of affairs is for things to keep moving in a straight line at the same speed unless a force acts upon it. The forces in this case include air resistance (a form of friction which is negligible when the bike is going slowly enough) and wheel axles. Friction turns motion energy into heat. A car's brakes can get very hot if you brake all the way down a hill.
Yes, tectonic plates can generate friction as they interact with each other along their boundaries. This friction can lead to the plates being locked together for a period of time before eventually releasing in the form of an earthquake.
Desirable in scrummaging when the two packs form together. Without friction they would slip off which is dangerous. Friction is also desirable when making the tackle. And when sidestepping you need good grip. Undesireable when trying to evade the tackle.
The primary force opposing motion on faults is called friction. This friction between the rocks on either side of the fault prevents them from easily sliding past each other, building up stress until it is eventually released in the form of an earthquake.
Yes, when two objects are rubbed together, electrons can transfer from one object to the other. This transfer of electrons leads to one object becoming positively charged (loses electrons) and the other becoming negatively charged (gains electrons).
Kinetic friction is the friction that applies when an object is moving; static friction is the friction that applies when the object is not moving. Static friction must always be greater than, or equal to, kinetic friction.
the plural form of friction is friction
the plural form of friction is friction
No. Its a form of friction.
Sliding
The form of energy generated by friction is called mechanical energy. Friction between surfaces can convert mechanical energy into heat energy.
Kinetic friction is the form of friction that deals with objects that are already in motion. Kinetic friction opposes the motion of an object as it slides or moves across a surface.
Yes.
loss of energy in fluid because of friction of seperated boundary layers
The friction 7/8 in the simplest form would be 7/8. The friction cannot go any lower.7/8 is in its simplest form.

Drag - a form of friction and lift.
i think it's friction
