    Friction and rolling resistance, and work done queries

    1) when a wheel turns there is a forward acting friction but the 'frictional' force that opposes it is rolling resistance right? So when a wheel successfully turns and move does it mean the friction is greater than the rolling resistance? Then in a car the resisting force will be this rolling...
