Types of Friction (āĻā§°ā§āώāĻŖā§° āĻĒā§ā§°āĻāĻžā§°)
1. Static Friction (āϏā§āĻĨāĻŋā§° āĻā§°ā§āώāĻŖ) - No Movement
- Prevents motion : āĻāϤāĻŋ āĻā§°āĻŽā§āĻ āĻš’āĻŦ āύā§ā§ąāĻžā§°ā§

3. Rolling Friction (āĻā§ā§°āĻŋāϝāĻŧāĻžāĻ āϝā§ā§ąāĻž āĻā§°ā§āώāĻŖ) - Wheel
- Acts when an object rolls : āĻŦāϏā§āϤ⧠āĻā§ā§°āĻŋāϝāĻŧāĻžāĻ āĻ’āϞ⧠āĻšāϝāĻŧ

MCQs
Q1. The friction that acts on a stationary object is called: āϏā§āĻĨāĻŋā§° āĻŦāϏā§āϤā§ā§° āĻāĻĒā§°āϤ āϝāĻŋ āĻā§°ā§āώāĻŖ āĻāĻžāĻŽ āĻā§°ā§ āϤāĻžāĻ āĻāĻŋ āĻāϝāĻŧ ?
(a) Sliding friction (b) Rolling friction (c) Static friction (d) Fluid friction
Ans: (c) Static friction
Explanation: Static friction acts when the object is at rest and prevents motion. āĻŦā§āϝāĻžāĻā§āϝāĻž: āĻŦāϏā§āϤ⧠āϏā§āĻĨāĻŋā§° āĻ

Final Exam Trick:
- Rolling < Sliding < Static
- Friction opposes motion
- Rough ↑ friction | Smooth ↓ friction
