Friction

Friction is a physical phenomenon in contact mechanics characterized by the tangential resistance force that opposes relative motion or intended motion between two surfaces in contact, arising from interactions at the interface, including adhesion, deformation, and plowing, under applied normal load and environmental conditions.
