  3. 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.

  4. 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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antinatalism

    All positive values that appear within human life are reactive and palliative; they do not arise from the structure of life itself, but are introduced by the permanent and anxious struggle against the decaying life and its three kinds of friction, with such struggle however doomed to be defeated, at any moment, by any of the mentioned frictions ...

  6. 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.

  7. Contact force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_force

    The microscopic origin of contact forces is diverse. Normal force is directly a result of Pauli exclusion principle and not a true force per se: Everyday objects do not actually touch each other; rather, contact forces are the result of the interactions of the electrons at or near the surfaces of the objects. [1]

  9. Contact dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_dynamics

    Consider a block which can slide or stick on a table (see figure 1a). The motion of the block is described by the equation of motion, whereas the friction force is unknown (see figure 1b). In order to obtain the friction force, a separate force law must be specified which links the friction force to the associated velocity of the block.
