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
Sliding Friction. Sliding friction (also called kinetic friction) is a contact force that resists the sliding motion of two objects or an object and a surface. Sliding friction is almost always less than that of static friction; this is why it is easier to move an object once it starts moving rather than to get the object to begin moving from a rest position.
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.
