All kinds of friction cause moving objects to slow down or stop. Friction can be quantified as a force resisting motion which is proportional to the weight of the object, for an object lying on a flat surface. The frictional force is found by multiplying the objects weight by a coefficient of friction, which is usually less than one, but can be higher than one (for example with rubber tyres on dry tarmac). Therefore friction requires a greater force to be applied to move the object. A similar coefficient called the drag coefficient is used to quantify air resistance in vehicles and aircraft-the faster you go the higher the frictional force, in this case.
Friction is a force that acts against a moving object to slow it down. A type of friction is air resistance.
Friction opposes the direction in which the object is moving, causing the object to decrease in speed, or stop all together.

What if there is no friction would a a moving object stop moving?
The object would not cease moving, as there is no friction to act like a brake.
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.
How can increase friction on a moving object?
by slaiding friction increase
How friction decreases d speed of an moving object?
friction is nothing but just the opposite force acting on any moving object...... it hence decreases the speed of a moving object as the object is obstructed in its path
What does moving object mean?
it means an object is moving based on the force of friction and gravity.
How friction affect the moving object?
Friction always want to retard the motion of a moving object. So friction slows down and finally stops a moving object.
What if there is no friction would a a moving object stop moving?
The object would not cease moving, as there is no friction to act like a brake.
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'.
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 friction do to the object's motion?
The motion of the object might slow down or just change itself object would resist moving or keep moving. An object can have static friction, sliding friction, or rolling friction.
What friction prevents an moving object?
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.
When can you notice friction?
i notice friction when a moving object is being stopped by a living object
How can increase friction on a moving object?
by slaiding friction increase
How friction decreases d speed of an moving object?
friction is nothing but just the opposite force acting on any moving object...... it hence decreases the speed of a moving object as the object is obstructed in its path
What does moving object mean?
it means an object is moving based on the force of friction and gravity.
Fluid friction acting on an object moving throught the air?
Fluid friction acting on an object moving through the air is called air.
