Brushing your teeth involves the bristles of the toothbrush making contact with the surface of your teeth. As the bristles move over the teeth, they create friction, which helps to remove plaque and debris. This friction is an example of sliding friction because it occurs between two surfaces in relative motion.

What type of friction is brushing your hair?
The friction experienced when brushing your hair would be considered dry friction, as it occurs between solid surfaces without any lubricating medium.
A special form of rolling friction is called?
sliding friction.
Give an example of sliding friction?
Pushing a box along the floor is an example of sliding friction. The resistance encountered when trying to slide an object across a surface is due to the sliding friction between the two materials.
What is the difference between static friction and sliding friction?
Sliding friction is always less than the static friction by small amount.
What are different forms of friction?
There are four main types of friction: static friction (occurs when an object is at rest), kinetic friction (occurs when an object is in motion), rolling friction (occurs when an object rolls over a surface), and fluid friction (occurs when an object moves through a fluid such as air or water).
