Sliding Friction
Sliding Friction
The frictional force present when one object moves slowly (or slides) over the surface of another object, is known as sliding friction. Thus, sliding friction comes into play when an object is sliding (moving slowly but continuously) over another object. We can demonstrate the sliding friction by extending the above activity further. In the above activity we have seen that when a certain force (equal and opposite to static friction) is applied by us, the wooden block just tends to move or slip on the table Let us now increase the force applied to pull the wooden block a little more (by pulling the spring balance more). We will see that the wooden block begins to slide (or move slowly) on the table top.
The force required to keep an object moving slowly (or sliding) with the same speed is a measure of the sliding friction, It has been found that the force required to keep the wooden block sliding (once it has started sliding) is less than the static friction. In other words, when an object starts sliding, then the friction is less. This means that the sliding friction is smaller than the static friction. For example, in Figure 10 we can see that when the wooden block starts sliding, then the spring balance shows a reading of 4 N force (4 newtons force). This means that the magnitude of sliding friction is 4 newtons (which is smaller than the static friction of 5 newtons).

Students / Parents Reviews [10]
A marvelous experience with Abhyas. I am glad to share that my ward has achieved more than enough at the Ambala ABHYAS centre. Years have passed on and more and more he has gained. May the centre flourish and develop day by day by the grace of God.

10thOne of the best institutes to develope a child interest in studies.Provides SST and English knowledge also unlike other institutes. Teachers are co operative and friendly online tests andPPT develope practical knowledge also.

10thMy experience was very good with Abhyas academy. I am studying here from 6th class and I am satisfied by its results in my life. I improved a lot here ahead of school syllabus.

8thIt was a good experience with Abhyas Academy. I even faced problems in starting but slowly and steadily overcomed. Especially reasoning classes helped me a lot.

10thBeing a parent, I saw my daughter improvement in her studies by seeing a good result in all day to day compititive exam TMO, NSO, IEO etc and as well as studies. I have got a fruitful result from my daughter.

8thIt was good as the experience because as we had come here we had been improved in a such envirnment created here.Extra is taught which is beneficial for future.

8thMy experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.

8thAbhyas is a complete education Institute. Here extreme care is taken by teacher with the help of regular exam. Extra classes also conducted by the institute, if the student is weak.

10thIt has a great methodology. Students here can get analysis to their test quickly.We can learn easily through PPTs and the testing methods are good. We know that where we have to practice
