For a moving solid body, there are two principal types of friction that act upon it:
- The force resisting the motion of a rolling body on a surface is known as Rolling friction or Rolling resistance. This type of friction is experienced by a wheel or a ball rolling on the ground.
- There is another type of friction known as Sliding friction, which resists the movement of a body which is pushed in such a way that only one surface of the body is in contact with the surface it is moving on. It will be experienced when, for example, a box is pushed across a table.
Rolling friction is considerably weaker than Sliding friction.
