🧵 String Types
Friction
Friction
A force that slows down moving objects when surfaces rub together.
🔬 Rough strings create more friction!
Texture
Surface Texture
How rough or smooth a surface feels.
🔬 Smooth = less friction, Rough = more friction!
Resistance
Resistance
A force that opposes or slows down motion.
🔬 Friction creates resistance to motion!
