What is friction and its types?

‘Friction‘ is a force that resists motion of sliding or rolling of one object moving relative to another. It is a result of the electromagnetic attraction between the charged particles of two touching surfaces.   Types of Friction Static Friction : It is defined as the frictional force that acts between the surfaces when they are at rest with respect to each other. The magnitude of the static force is equal in the opposite direction when a small amount of force is applied. When the force increases, at some point maximum static friction is reached. Rolling friction : It is the force that resists motion when an object rolls on a surface. Technically it’s not friction; its ‘rolling resistance’ since when a body rolls perfectly upon a surface, on paper, there is no sliding friction between that object and surface. Sliding friction : It is the frictional force between two surfaces that are rubbing against each other. It’s a very easy and common concept. It’s hard to find a perfectly sm

Newton’s Second Law of Motion

Sir Issac newton Born in 1643 in Woolsthorpe, England, Sir Isaac Newton began developing his theories on light, calculus and celestial mechanics while on break from Cambridge University. Years of research culminated with the 1687 publication of “Principia,” a landmark work that established the universal laws of motion and gravity. What is Newton’s Second Law of Motion? Force is equal to the rate of change of momentum. For a constant mass, force equals mass times acceleration. Newton’s second law states that the acceleration of an object depends upon two variables. The net force acting on the object and the mass of the object.   The acceleration of the body is directly proportional to the net force acting on the body and inversely proportional to the mass of the body.  This means that as the force acting upon an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is increased. then we can also that the mass of an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is decreased. Mathemat

What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?

The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor be destroyed. Although, it may be transformed from one form to another. If you take all forms of energy into account, the total energy of an isolated system always remains constant. All the forms of energy follow the law of conservation of energy.
