Question

friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object. friction produces heat. static friction is a type of friction that acts on an object not in motion. sliding friction is when an object slides across a smooth or slick surface. rolling friction is when an object rolls across a surface on rollers, wheels, or ball bearings. fluid friction is when solid objects move through fluids. a plant pot sitting on a table doesnt move and sits at rest. what kind of friction is the pot experiencing? static friction fluid friction rolling friction

Explanation:

The problem is about identifying the type of friction acting on a stationary object. As per the given definitions, static friction acts on an object not in motion. The plant pot is at rest (not moving), so we match this to the static friction definition.

Answer:

Static friction
