Explain the term dynamic limiting friction and rolling friction?

Dynamic limiting friction refers to the maximum amount of frictional force that can be generated between two surfaces in relative motion. Rolling friction is the resistive force that opposes the motion of a rolling object, which is typically smaller than sliding friction due to the rolling motion.


Friction between objects that are stationary is called what?

The friction between two stationary forces is called static friction. It is the friction that resists two objects to start moving against each other. Once in motion, the friction between two forces is called dynamic friction. Static friction tends to be greater than dynamic friction, which is why it takes more force to get a heavy box moving along the ground compared to keep it going.


What affect sliding friction?

Sliding friction, or more formally known as Dynamic Friction, or Kinetic Friction, is a resistive force that arises when one object is in contact with another object and the objects are in motion with respect to each other. Friction is called a resistive force because it always resists, or pushes against, the initial force causing the motion..The factors that affect the magnitude of dynamic friction are:the coefficient of dynamic friction between the two bodies; andthe magnitude of the original force responsible for the motion.


If the coefficient of static friction is 0.75 what is the coefficient of dynamic friction?

The coefficient of dynamic friction is typically lower than the coefficient of static friction. It can range from 0.3 to 0.6 depending on the materials in contact. Without further information, we can estimate it to be around 0.4 to 0.6 based on common values.


State laws of friction?

Static friction: the force that resists the initial movement of an object at rest. Kinetic friction: the force that opposes the motion of an object already in motion. The coefficient of friction: a constant that measures the friction between two surfaces.

What is the definition of dynamic friction?

Dynamic friction is a type of friction that is created when two objects are rubbing against one another. The amount of dynamic friction can change depending upon the speed of the two objects.

What is dry friction what are the types of dry friction what is fluid friction what are the types of dynamic or kinetic friction?

Fluid friction is the friction that occurs when an object moves through a fluid or gas.


Is the coefficient of dynamic friction greater than the coefficient of static friction and why?

Millions of classroom experiments would indicate that there is, in fact, a difference, but it is most likely caused by dirt, oil, and imperfections on the surfaces. When care is taken to ensure the surfaces are uniform and clean, the difference between static and dynamic friction disappears.


What kind of friction allows you to walk without slipping?

Alternately, as we step: sliding, or dynamic friction; static friction; sliding friction again. Sequence repeats with each step.
