What is rolling friction and sliding friction?

I assume this relates to a wheel. When the wheel is rolling, the surface of the wheel is not moving relative to the surface of the road when they are in contact. however, the wheel deforms slightly and because of this, the normal force slightly opposing the motion of the wheel rather than simply pushing it up. This is rolling friction or more commonly known as static friction. When the wheel is sliding, the wheel is sliding over the road's surface, meaning that there is relative movement between the wheel and the road. this is known as sliding friction or kinetic friction.


What type of friction acts on a rolling wheel?

Rolling friction acts on a rolling wheel. It is the resistance that occurs between the wheel and the surface it is rolling on. Rolling friction is generally lower than static or kinetic friction.


Why is sliding friction less than static friction?

Because when an object is sliding on the other the molecules donnot get time to inter lock properly


What kind of simple machine is a bicycle wheel?

A bicycle wheel is considered a wheel and axle simple machine. When the wheel turns, it enables movement with reduced friction and effort. The axle acts as a fulcrum for the wheel to rotate around.


How do friction effect mousetrap car?

Friction can affect a mousetrap car in several ways. Higher friction between the wheels and the surface can reduce its speed and efficiency. Properly managing friction through wheel alignment, tire type, and surface smoothness can help improve the performance of a mousetrap car.

What is the purpose of a wheel and axle?

The purpose of a wheel and axle is to reduce the total friction that acts against the linear motion of an object along a surface.

What provides the friction surface necessary to stop the wheel?

hyd pressure or mechanical force from a plunger or mechanical device.


Why wheels are circle?

A wheel is circular to reduce friction with the road surface, and to allow a vehicle to move smoothly forward.

What is value of coefficient of friction for castor?

The coefficient of friction for castor wheels can vary depending on factors such as the material of the castor wheel and the surface it is rolling on. Typically, the coefficient of friction for castor wheels ranges from 0.6 to 1.0.


What is rolling friction?

Rolling friction is when an object that is rolling/sliding/moving on a surface is slowed down or stopped, because of the friction of the two objects rubbing against each other.


What wheels creates the most friction?

(Before I answer this question, I will restate it to "Which tires create the most friction?".) In racing, super soft racing tires usually create the most friction on road. They give wind to durability, but require only several turns to heat up.
