A block of wood is at rest on a wooden ramp. When wheels are attached to the block of wood it moves down the ramp. Explain each situation in terms of friction.?

first it will have static friction because the object isn't moving.once it rolls it will have rolling friction.

What friction is the type of friction produced by wheels or ball bearings?
the friction produced by objects such as wheels or ball bearings is called rolling friction
What thing can you use to help us overcome friction?
wheels overcome friction
Where is friction a problem on a skateboard?
For a skateboard, friction works between the wheels of the board and the axis, as well as between the wheels of the board and the ground when the board is in motion. Since friction works in a direction opposing motion, it is only in effect when the when the board or the wheels of the board are in motion.
What is friction reduction?
It means what how can the friction be reduced. To answer this question, Friction can be reduced by devices like ball bearings, wheels and lubricants.
Why are wheels of automobiles made circular?
due to friction
What friction is the type of friction produced by wheels or ball bearings?
the friction produced by objects such as wheels or ball bearings is called rolling friction
Is there friction when you are are roller skating?
Yes- your body has friction with the air, and the wheels have friction with the floor.
Is there a lot of friction on an accelerating car?
Absolutely, as there is air resistance, the stickiness of the car's wheels, and the friction of the axles turning the wheels.
Wheels help reduce?
friction
What can give wheels traction?
friction
What kind of friction is acting on the wheels when a car skids on ice?
cold friction
Do wheels reduce friction?
yes because when they brake the friction is caused to reduce
What thing can you use to help us overcome friction?
wheels overcome friction
Why does car wheels get hot after driving?
Friction from the road heating the tires and transferring to the wheels and the brakes friction heating the wheel its self and/or the rims.

In what ways can friction be helpful?
Friction is necessary for wheels to rotate and nails to keep in walls.
What kind of friction allows wheels to turn without spinning on a surface?
Rolling friction :)
