What is Friction with Examples

What is Friction?

Friction is a force exerted by a surface when an object moves across it.

A ball moving on a flat surface eventually comes to a halt. It is because the surface exerts a force of friction on the ball in the direction opposite to its
The movement of a person skating on an ice rink is smoother than that of a person skating on a road. It is because the force of friction offered by the ice rink floor is lesser than the force of friction offered by the
When we hold a bottle in our hand, it does not slip because of the force of friction between our hands and the
It is difficult to walk on a wet floor and there are high chances of slipping. It is because the water present on the surface reduces the friction offered by

Summary

Friction	It is a force exerted by a surface when an object moves across it.
Examples of Friction	A ball moving on a flat surface eventually comes to a halt due to friction. The movement of a person skating on an ice rink is smoother than that of a person skating on a road. When we hold a bottle in our hand, it does not slip because of the force of friction between our hands and the bottle. It is difficult to walk on a wet floor because the water present on the surface reduces the friction offered by it,
