Friction force is equal to the force applied only when the object is not moving or it is just beginning to slide. Once the object has started motion completely, it means that the force applied has exceeded the frictional force

If the force applied to an object doesnt make the object move then no friction has been done is this true?

Yes, there is us. Static Friction.


When equals the force of gravity on a falling object the object reaches terminal velocity.?

When THE FRICTION BETWEEN THE OBJECT AND THE ATMOSPHEREequals the force of gravity on a falling object the object reaches terminal velocity.


When you push on a stationary object and it doesnt move what kind of force is most likely opposing your efforts?

static friction


Is there friction in a building?

There is friction nearly everywhere. Air resistance, carpet, and your shoes all produce friction. The formula for finding the force of friction is friction force equals the coefficient of friction times the cosine of the angle of the force times the mass of the object times gravity (9.80 meters/sec squared)


What friction prevents an object from moving when a force is applied?

The friction produced that stops an object moving when force is applied is 'static friction'.


What is the friction that hinders a stationary object from moving on a surface when a force is applied to that object?

Static friction. The frictional force is greater then the force applied, meaning the object can't move.


How the direction of the force of kinetic friction is related to the direction of an object's motion?

Friction force works against the motion of the object. In other words friction force has the opponent direction of the velocity of the object.


Force that act on object that are not moving?

Static friction is the force that acts on an object that is not moving. Other kinds of friction include fluid friction and rolling friction.


What does a force have to be than friction?

If you wish to actually move an object, some other force on the object has to be greater than the force of friction.


What is resistive forces?

Perhaps you mean friction or inertia.


What is the word for a force that opposes the motion of an object?

The opposing forces such as friction in case of solids and viscous force in case of fluids are always present in the natural world.a force can cause a resting object to move, or it can accelerate a moving object by changing the object's speed or direction.in a shorter way to say is frictionFriction


What is the force that moves an object?

Friction force
