Question
the propeller on a boat pushes water to make the boat move. what kind of friction does the propeller experience? rolling friction fluid friction sliding friction
Fluid friction occurs when an object moves through a fluid (liquid or gas). Here, the propeller moves through water (a fluid), so the friction it experiences is fluid friction. Rolling friction is between a rolling object and a surface (e.g., a wheel on the road). Sliding friction is when two surfaces slide against each other (e.g., a box sliding on the floor).
