What are the three types of fricton?
The three types of friction are static, sliding and rolling I'll use a car to illustrate these three types. If you try to push your car sideways (push on the passenger or driver's door) and it won't move, the force between the tires and the driveway ( or whatever surface the car is on) that prevents the car from moving is static friction. If you're driving down the highway and apply the brakes but not enough to stop the wheels from rolling, the force between the tiers and the highway that is slowing the car is rolling friction. If you slam on the brakes and lock the wheels so they are sliding/skidding down the highway the force between the tires and the highway that will eventually bring the car to a stop is sliding friction.
