In mechanics, friction plays a major role both in the laboratory and industrial worlds. Friction is the resistance to the sliding, rolling, or flowing motion of an object due to its contact with another object. Rolling friction is caused primarily by the interference of small indentations formed as one surface rolls over another. This is the idea behind the frictional forces involved with wheels, cylinders, and spheres. In the ideal case of the wheel, we must first look at the forces acting on the wheel. In pure rolling motion friction is required to start, stop, change the motion of a wheel. Below we can see the frictional force necessary to begin motion, and get the wheel moving at a velocityv. In pure rolling motion, friction causes the wheel to catch and stops the sliding and slipping motion; for example when a car spins its tires, slipping is taking place, thus the frictional force works to stop the spinning out and causes the tires to catch and begin pure rolling motion.
