Answer:

There are 4 types: Static Friction, Sliding Friction, Rolling Friction, Fluid Friction

Step-by-step explanation:

Static: frictional force that acts between the surfaces when they are at rest with respect to each other.

Ex: Skiing against the snow

Creating heat by rubbing both the hands together

Sliding: defined as the resistance that is created between any two objects when they are sliding against each other.

Ex: Sliding of the block across the floor

Two cards sliding against each other in a deck

Rolling: defined as the force which resists the motion of a ball or wheel and is the weakest types of friction.

Ex: Rolling of the log on the ground

Wheels of the moving vehicles

Fluid: defined as the friction that exists between the layers of the fluid when they are moving relative to each other.

Ex: The flow of ink in pens

Swimming
