Properties of Friction
Properties of Friction
When we push an object lying on a table with a small amount of force. It does not move at all. We can say that the surface of the table top opposes the motion or it exerts some force on the object which acts in the direction opposite to the direction in which the force being applied. Let us discuss some properties about the force of friction.
1. Friction is produced only when one body is made to slide upon another body. If an object is placed in contact to the other object. that is the two surfaces are in contact and we apply force to slide the object frictional force comes into action and opposes the motion.
2. Frictional Forces Opposes Motion: Friction always prevent movement and tries to stop the body, for example a ball moving on the ground slows down gradually and stops after covering some distance.Force is required to change the state of motion of any object. So this can only happen if some force is exerted by the ground on the ball to stop it This force is the frictional force.
3. Wear and Tear of the Moving Parts: It wears off the surface of contact of two bodies. for example the grooves in the tyres of vehicle become smooth because while running on the road there is friction between the tyres and the surface of the road.
4. Direction of Friction is Opposite to the Direction of Motion: The direction of frictional force is always in the direction opposite to the direction of motion. For example if we push a book lying on the table towards the right side the book will move through some distance to the right side and then it will stop. This is only possible if some force is applied in the direction opposite to the direction of motion.
A fire can be made by rubbing two objects together such as rubbing two pieces of rock having rough urfaces. Which of the following statements explain why a fire can be made by rubbing two objects together ? (i) Friction slows down moving objects. (ii) Fire gives out heat light energy. (iii) Friction produces heat. (iv) Fire has no mass. | |||

Students / Parents Reviews [10]
It 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.

10thMy 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.

8thOne 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.
Aman Kumar Shrivastava
10thMy experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.

7thBeing 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.
Prisha Gupta
8thIt 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
Barkha Arora
10thAbhyas Methodology is very good. It is based on according to student and each child manages accordingly to its properly. Methodology has improved the abilities of students to shine them in future.
