| Three Classes Levers | |
| Friction: A force that opposes motion |
|
Types of friction: - Friction that occurs acting against motion when one surface is not moving over the other.Sliding friction - Friction that occurs between surfaces when two solid objects are sliding over each other. Rolling friction - Friction that occurs between the wheel or round object when an object rolls over a surface. Fluid friction - Friction that occurs between the object and the fluid when an object moves through a fluid |
