Rolling friction is the resistive force that occurs when an object rolls over a surface. It is caused by the deformation of the object and the surface it is rolling on. This type of friction is typically lower than sliding friction, which occurs when an object slides over a surface, making rolling a more efficient mode of transportation for many applications.
Real-life examples: Look for real-life examples of rolling friction, such as the movement of vehicles, rolling of balls, and the functioning of bearings.
Calculations: Practice solving problems involving rolling friction, including calculating the force of rolling friction and its impact on the motion of objects.
By understanding the principles of rolling friction and its applications, you can gain a deeper insight into the behavior of objects in motion and the efficiency of various mechanical systems.

Energy - A. Energy is involved in all physical and chemical processes. It is conserved, and can be transformed from one form to another and into work. At the atomic and nuclear levels energy is not continuous but exists in discrete amounts. Energy and mass are related through Einstein's equation E=mc 2 . B. The properties of atomic nuclei are responsible for energy-related phenomena such as radioactivity, fission and fusion. C. Changes in entropy and energy that accompany chemical reactions influence reaction paths. Chemical reactions result in the release or absorption of energy. D. The theory of electromagnetism explains that electricity and magnetism are closely related. Electric charges are the source of electric fields. Moving charges generate magnetic fields. E. Waves are the propagation of a disturbance. They transport energy and momentum but do not transport matter.
