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.
