Question

friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object between two surfaces that touch.

static friction is a type of friction that acts on an object that is not moving.

rolling friction is when an object rolls across a smooth or rough surface.

sliding friction is when an object slides across a surface as in rollers, wheels, or ball bearings.

fluid friction is when solid objects move through fluids.

please the correct answer

towels on a rack are holding still and not falling. what type of friction is helping to keep them in place?

fluid friction

sliding friction

static friction

Explanation:

Static friction acts on objects that are not moving relative to each other. The towels are holding still on the rack (no relative motion), so static friction keeps them in place. Fluid friction involves fluids, sliding friction involves sliding motion, neither of which applies here.

Answer:

Static friction
