Rolling Friction

ROLLING FRICTION

ROTATIONAL DRAG & DEFORMATION

PHYSICS LAW:

Surface Deformation

Rolling friction occurs when a round object rolls over a surface. It is caused primarily by the deformation of the wheel and the floor.

ROLLING FORCE
Fᵣ = μᵣN

Minimal energy loss.

HYSTERESIS LOSSES

The primary cause of rolling friction is **hysteresis**, where the energy used to deform a wheel (like a tire flattening at the bottom) isn't fully recovered as it returns to shape.

Energy Dissipation

COEFFICIENT RATIOS

Rolling friction is significantly weaker than kinetic friction—often by a factor of 100. This is why wheels are the most efficient method for ground transportation.

μr: 0.001 - 0.02

WHEEL RADIUS IMPACT

The force of rolling friction is inversely proportional to the radius of the wheel. Larger wheels overcome surface irregularities more easily, reducing drag.
