List the two types of friction and give an example of each?

The two types of friction are static friction and kinetic friction. Static friction occurs when two surfaces are in contact but not moving relative to each other, while kinetic friction occurs when two surfaces are in contact and are moving relative to each other. An example of static friction is pushing a heavy box that is initially at rest, while an example of kinetic friction is dragging that same box once it is in motion.


Give an example of sliding friction?

Sliding your hands together is an example of sliding friction.


What is a harmful and helpful example of friction?

AdvantagesHelps holding objectsCauses objects to come to restdisadvantagesReduces machinery efficiencyOpposes movement of an object


Explain the difference between static friction and kinetic friction. Give an example of each.?

Static friction occurs when two surfaces are not moving relative to each other, while kinetic friction occurs when two surfaces are sliding past each other. An example of static friction is trying to push a heavy box that won't budge, while an example of kinetic friction is the resistance when sliding a book across a table.


What are some ways friction is helpful and some ways it is harmful?

Friction is helpful as it allows us to walk, hold objects, and write. It also helps stop vehicles and machines by providing traction. However, friction can be harmful as it causes wear and tear on moving parts, reduces speed in vehicles, and can cause injuries when there is too much resistance.
