Friction is a force that opposes the relative motion or tendency of such motion of two surfaces in contact. It acts parallel to the surfaces and is caused by the irregularities (microscopic bumps and ridges) on the surfaces. These irregularities create resistance to the motion when the surfaces slide or attempt to slide past each other.
There are two main types of friction:
Static Friction: This type of friction prevents the initial motion of an object. It comes into play when you try to move an object but it remains stationary. The force of static friction adjusts itself to be equal to the applied force, up to a certain limit.
Kinetic (or Dynamic) Friction: Once an object is in motion, kinetic friction comes into play. It acts opposite to the direction of motion and tends to slow down or stop the moving object. The force of kinetic friction is generally less than the force of static friction for the same materials.
Friction is a crucial force in our everyday lives. It allows us to walk without slipping, enables the operation of vehicles, and is essential in numerous mechanical systems. At the same time, it can be a factor that needs to be minimized in some cases where smooth motion is desired, such as in the design of certain machinery or sports equipment.
