Question
Answer the following in short.
Define rolling friction and give an example where rolling. friction comes into play.
Solution
When we roll an object on a surface, the friction produced between the object and the surface is called rolling friction. Example: when we pull our large suitcases on wheels, rolling friction comes into play. The wheels reduce friction and cut down a lot of effort required to move the suitcase (Rolling friction is less than sliding friction).
