content-addressable memory or CAM. Content Addressable Memory provides a performance advantage over other memory search algorithms, such as binary or tree-based searches or look-aside tag buffers, by comparing the desired information against the entire list of pre-stored entries simultaneously, often resulting in an
Examples of Sliding Friction. 1  Sledding. 2  Pushing an object across a surface. 3  Rubbing one's hands together (The friction generated by rubbing's one hands is what generates heat.) 4  A car sliding on ice. 5  Opening and closing a sliding door. 6  A car turning a corner. 7  Rope and a pulley system.
Friction. Friction is a resistance to motion that is opposite the direction of travel. It is caused when two surfaces are in contact. Since friction acts to slow down a moving object, it is called a resistive force. This is different than active forces that cause objects to accelerate or change direction. Friction is mainly caused by surface roughness. The classic law of friction states that friction is the product of a coefficient and a force.
