    Talking about the friction, it is the simple phenomenon that arises when a body try to move on to another body surface.


    For instance, when a ball is kicked, it stops after covering the distance.


    The question that comes in mind at that instant, what thing make it to stop.


    That force is nothing friction.


    In simple words, we can define the "Friction as the opposing force which opposes the motion of the body"


    Note: This opposing force arises when a body try to move on to the surface of another body.


    Hope you have understand the friction in simple. Now, you can share the same knowledge with your friends, too.
