Q37.What are the various types of friction? With the help of suitable example explain why friction is necessary in sports.

View Answer

Ans. A. Friction is a force which oppose efforts to slide or roll one body over another. Without friction it would be impossible to walk or run but on the other hand it increases the difficulty of moving.

The amount of friction between one surface and another depends upon the nature of the surface and forces pressing them together generally speaking smooth surface have less friction than rough.

Types of Friction:-

• Static Friction:- is the opposing force which acts between two surface in which one tends to move over the other

• Dynamic Friction:- which acts between two surfaces in which one is actually moving over the other it may be two types.

– Sliding

– Rolling

Friction is both helpful in sports: Friction is Necessary: Nothing would be able to move without friction. Friction is how things accelerate. Without friction we would not be able to walk we would just be slipping. Without friction we cannot give better performance in sports. Examples: athletes use spikes and footballers use studs to have appropriate friction while they run fast. A Gymnast uses lime powder on his/her palms to perform many activities like horizontal bar uneven bar Roman Rings. In Badminton players are usually seen to rub their sole of shoes with lime before going to the wooden court. It is done to provide better grip on the floor so that one can move safely
