Types of Friction (āĻ˜ā§°ā§āώāĻŖā§° āĻĒā§ā§°āĻ•āĻžā§°)  


1. Static Friction (āĻ¸ā§āĻĨāĻŋā§° āĻ˜ā§°ā§āώāĻŖ) - No Movement



  • Prevents motion : āĻ—āϤāĻŋ āφ⧰āĻŽā§āĻ­ āĻš’āĻŦ āĻ¨ā§‹ā§ąāĻžā§°ā§‡

  • Acts when object is at rest : āĻŦāĻ¸ā§āϤ⧁ āĻ¸ā§āĻĨāĻŋā§° āĻ…ā§ąāĻ¸ā§āĻĨāĻžāϤ āĻĨāĻžāϕ⧇

  • No movement : āϕ⧋āύ⧋ āĻ—āϤāĻŋ āύāĻžāχ


2. Sliding Friction (āϏ⧰āĻŖ āĻ˜ā§°ā§āώāĻŖ) - Slide



  • Acts when an object slides over another : āĻŦāĻ¸ā§āϤ⧁ āĻāϟāĻž āφāύāĻŸā§‹āϤ āϏ⧰āĻŋ āĻ¯ā§‹ā§ąāĻžā§° āϏāĻŽāϝāĻŧāϤ āĻšāϝāĻŧ 

  • Opposes moving objects : āĻ—āϤāĻŋā§° āĻŦāĻŋāĻĒā§°ā§€āϤ⧇ āĻ•āĻžāĻŽ āϕ⧰⧇


3. Rolling Friction (āϗ⧁⧰āĻŋāϝāĻŧāĻžāχ āĻ¯ā§‹ā§ąāĻž āĻ˜ā§°ā§āώāĻŖ) - Wheel



  • Acts when an object rolls : āĻŦāĻ¸ā§āϤ⧁ āϗ⧁⧰āĻŋāϝāĻŧāĻžāχ āĻ—’āϞ⧇ āĻšāϝāĻŧ

  • It is the lowest friction : āχ āĻ¸ā§°ā§āĻŦāύāĻŋāĻŽā§āύ āĻ˜ā§°ā§āώāĻŖ

MCQs 


Q1. The friction that acts on a stationary object is called: āĻ¸ā§āĻĨāĻŋā§° āĻŦāĻ¸ā§āϤ⧁⧰ āĻ“āĻĒā§°āϤ āϝāĻŋ āĻ˜ā§°ā§āώāĻŖ āĻ•āĻžāĻŽ āϕ⧰⧇ āϤāĻžāĻ• āĻ•āĻŋ āĻ•āϝāĻŧ ?
(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§āϝāĻžāĻ–ā§āϝāĻž: āĻŦāĻ¸ā§āϤ⧁ āĻ¸ā§āĻĨāĻŋā§° āĻ…ā§ąāĻ¸ā§āĻĨāĻžāϤ āĻĨāĻžāĻ•āĻŋāϞ⧇ āĻ¸ā§āĻĨāĻŋā§° āĻ˜ā§°ā§āώāĻŖ āĻ•āĻžāĻŽ āϕ⧰⧇ āφ⧰⧁ āĻ—āϤāĻŋ āφ⧰āĻŽā§āĻ­ āĻš’āĻŦ āĻ¨ā§‹ā§ąāĻžā§°ā§‡āĨ¤

(a) Smooth surface (b) Rough surface (c) Oily surface (d) Wet surface


Ans: (b) Rough surface
Explanation: Rough surfaces create more resistance to motion. āĻŦā§āϝāĻžāĻ–ā§āϝāĻž: ⧰⧁āĻ•ā§āώ āĻĒ⧃āĻˇā§āϠ⧇ āĻ—āϤāĻŋā§° āĻŦāĻŋāĻĒā§°ā§€āϤ⧇ āĻ…āϧāĻŋāĻ• āĻŦāĻžāϧāĻž āϏ⧃āĻˇā§āϟāĻŋ āϕ⧰⧇āĨ¤

Final Exam Trick:



  • Rolling < Sliding < Static

  • Friction opposes motion

  • Rough ↑ friction | Smooth ↓ friction
