Worksheet on types of friction and their applications.

Problem Analysis and Solution:

Let's solve each question step by step.

#### Question 1:
A moving ball on a ground stops after some time. Name the force responsible for it.

- When a ball is rolling on the ground, it eventually comes to a stop due to the presence of frictional forces.
- Friction opposes the motion of the ball and dissipates its kinetic energy as heat, causing it to slow down and eventually stop.

Answer: Friction

#### Question 2:
Name the Type of friction in following two cases:

1. Case 1 (Pushing a heavy box):
- When you push a heavy box across the floor, the box slides over the surface. The resistance to this sliding motion is called sliding friction.
- Sliding friction occurs when two solid surfaces are in contact and one is moving relative to the other.

2. Case 2 (Pulling a suitcase with wheels):
- When you pull a suitcase with wheels, the wheels roll over the surface. The resistance to this rolling motion is called rolling friction.
- Rolling friction is generally much smaller than sliding friction because the contact between the wheel and the surface is minimal and involves less deformation.

Answers:
- Case 1: Sliding friction
- Case 2: Rolling friction

Out of the above two types of friction, name the friction which requires less effort:
- Rolling friction requires less effort compared to sliding friction because it involves less resistance.

Answer: Rolling friction

#### Question 3:
Match the following:

| i) Bird | a) Measures the force acting on an object. |
| ii) Spring Balance | b) Static friction |
| iii) Moving body | c) Lubricant |
| iv) Reduces friction | d) Drag |

1. Bird: Birds experience air resistance when they fly. This resistance is known as drag.
- Match: i) Bird → d) Drag

2. Spring Balance: A spring balance is a device used to measure the force acting on an object (e.g., weight).
- Match: ii) Spring Balance → a) Measures the force acting on an object.

3. Moving body: When a body is in motion, it experiences dynamic friction or simply friction that acts on moving objects.
- Match: iii) Moving body → b) Static friction (Note: This is incorrect; it should be dynamic friction, but static friction is given as an option. We'll assume the closest match.)

4. Reduces friction: Lubricants (e.g., oil, grease) are substances that reduce friction by creating a smooth layer between surfaces.
- Match: iv) Reduces friction → c) Lubricant

Matches:
- i) Bird → d) Drag
- ii) Spring Balance → a) Measures the force acting on an object.
- iii) Moving body → b) Static friction (closest match)
- iv) Reduces friction → c) Lubricant

#### Question 4:
Choose the correct option:

i) Static friction comes to play when the object is:
- Static friction acts when an object is at rest and there is a force trying to move it but the object does not move.
- Options:
- a) Rolling
- b) Sliding
- c) Moves from rest
- d) None

Correct Answer: c) Moves from rest

ii) Rolling friction comes to play when the object is:
- Rolling friction occurs when an object rolls over a surface.
- Options:
- a) Rolling
- b) Sliding
- c) Comes to rest
- d) All of these

Correct Answer: a) Rolling
