  2. Boundary friction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_friction

    In real life, though, there is often a situation where the surfaces are not completely dry, but also not so lubricated that they do not touch. This "boundary friction" produces various effects, like an increase in lubrication through the generation of shearing forces , or an oscillation effect during motion, as the friction increases and decreases.

  3. Fictitious force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fictitious_force

    The centrifugal force balances the friction between wheels and the road, making the car stationary in this non-inertial frame. A classic example of a fictitious force in circular motion is the experiment of rotating spheres tied by a cord and spinning around their centre of mass. In this case, the identification of a rotating, non-inertial ...

  4. Friction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction

    Fluid friction describes the friction between layers of a viscous fluid that are moving relative to each other. [7] [8] Lubricated friction is a case of fluid friction where a lubricant fluid separates two solid surfaces. [9] [10] [11] Skin friction is a component of drag, the force resisting the motion of a fluid across the surface of a body.

  5. Inelastic collision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inelastic_collision

    With friction, momentum of the two bodies is transferred to the surface that the two bodies are sliding upon. Similarly, if there is air resistance, the momentum of the bodies can be transferred to the air.) The equation below holds true for the two-body (Body A, Body B) system collision in the example above.

  7. Coulomb damping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulomb_damping

    Coulomb damping dissipates energy constantly because of sliding friction. The magnitude of sliding friction is a constant value; independent of surface area, displacement or position, and velocity. The system undergoing Coulomb damping is periodic or oscillating and restrained by the sliding friction.
