Quiz: Types Of Friction! Trivia Knowledge Test
Did you know that there is more than one type of friction? Do you know the laws that regulate all these types of frictions and their most basic differences? Friction is normally defined as the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces or fluid layers. So, what do you think you know about it? Take our quiz and find out now.
