Abstract

When the engine of a moving automobile, locomotive or any other transport vehicles is switched off, these vehicles stop after some time. A bullet or a projectile sent with a huge speed quickly loses it after several seconds of flight. The common clock stops if its spring is not wound up. There are may such examples. Friction is the common cause why they stop. The moving bodies expend energy to overcome friction. Friction is a complex of phenomena evolving on the surfaces of contact of bodies or their structural elements between themselves or with the environment that cause resistance to their relative motion [1, 2]. Because friction is due interactions between moving bodies or with the environment, it is accompanied by energy dissipation.
