could you please give me an example of the following(types of friction) :
-static
-sliding
And also:
-friction
-buoyant force
-air resistance
Thank You!
We do not do your work for you.
Since this is not my area of expertise, (even though you don't want websites) I searched Google under the key words "static friction examples" to get this:

You can find the information for the other concepts by using similar key terms.
You can find the information you desire more quickly, if you use appropriate key words to do your own search. Also see http://hanlib.sou.edu/searchtools/.
Certainly! I can provide examples of each type of friction as well as explain what they are.
1. Static Friction:
Static friction is a type of friction that prevents two surfaces from moving relative to each other when there is no applied force. It exists when there is no sliding motion between the surfaces.
Example: Imagine you push a heavy box on the floor, but it doesn't move at first. The static friction between the box and the floor prevents it from sliding until you apply enough force to overcome it.
2. Sliding Friction:
Sliding friction, also known as kinetic friction, occurs when two surfaces slide past each other. It opposes the motion of an object that is already in motion.
Example: When you push the same heavy box mentioned above and it starts to slide across the floor, the sliding friction comes into play. It acts in the opposite direction to the motion of the box, making it harder to keep it moving steadily.
Now, let's move on to the other concepts:
3. Friction:
Friction is a force that opposes motion between two surfaces in contact. It acts to resist the relative motion or tendency of motion between objects.
Example: If you try to slide a book across a table, you might notice that it doesn't slide easily. This is because the friction between the book and the table counteracts the force you apply, making it harder to move the book.
4. Buoyant Force:
The buoyant force is the upward force exerted on an object immersed in a fluid (liquid or gas) due to the difference in pressure between the top and bottom of the object.
Example: When you place an object, such as a ball, in a pool, the buoyant force pushes it upward. This force counters the weight of the object, allowing it to float or feel lighter in the water.
5. Air Resistance:
Air resistance, also known as drag, is a force that opposes the motion of an object as it moves through the air. It acts in the opposite direction to the object's motion.
Example: If you drop a feather and a stone from the same height, the feather will fall slower due to air resistance. The air molecules push against the feather, creating more drag compared to the denser stone.
I hope these examples help clarify the concepts for you! Let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with.
