Sliding friction is typically weaker than static friction. Static friction occurs between stationary objects, providing the resistance needed to prevent movement. Sliding friction, on the other hand, occurs when two surfaces are in motion relative to each other.

which type of friction forces are the strongest and the weakest?

sliding frictionrolling frictionstatic frictionfluid friction


What is the strongest type of friction?

There are four types of friction: Fluid Friction (The friction caused by falling through air or water, or any other liquid etc), rolling friction (Like a ball rolling across the floor), static friction (The force it takes to begin something's movement), and sliding friction(Like pushing a box across the floor). In order of strongest to weakest it's Static, Sliding, Rolling, Fluid.


What is the weakest friction among the 3 and why?

Static friction is typically weaker than kinetic and rolling friction because it requires less force to overcome the initial resistance of an object at rest. Once an object is in motion, kinetic and rolling friction require less force to maintain movement compared to overcoming static friction.


Compare the strengths of static sliding and rolling friction?

Static friction is stronger than sliding friction because it prevents an object from starting to move, while sliding friction resists the motion of an object in contact with another surface. Rolling friction is typically the weakest of the three, as it only occurs when an object is already in motion, and the friction forces are reduced due to rolling instead of sliding.


What is the type of friction you can observe when you slide books across a table top?

The type of friction you observe when you slide books across a table top is kinetic friction. This type of friction occurs between two surfaces that are in motion relative to each other.
