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 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 would happen when an object started moving if there is no friction?

it will go same speed forever without affecting mass and weight


What is a force when neither object is moving?

that would be static friction.


Does fluid friction affect soccer balls?

All friction affects a moving object, the source of the friction and the object moving is irrelevant. Water on a soccer ball would effect the performance of the ball.


What has 0 friction?

There is no such thing as zero friction, when an object is moving it will always loose heat/energy to the objects around it. Even if it is a solid object or air, E is always being transfered. If there was someting that had no friction it would continuously be moving.


What could happen if there is no friction in land?

Friction is what holds, stops things from moving. if there was no friction then things would be on the move 24/7.


What would happen if friction were to act in the same direction as the motion?

The object would accelerate faster.


Does static or sliding friction keeps an object from moving when a force is applied?

i would say sliding


What would happen if you doubled the force acting on a moving object?

If you doubled the force on a moving object you would double its acceleration.


What is friction affected by?

Weight and surface affect friction. The more mass an object has more friction that will occur ex:/ It would be harder to slide an elephant across a floor than a hockey puck. This is because the large amount of friction on the elephant would slow it down. The smoother the surface the less friction. ex:/ There will be more friction on a floor of sandpaper than there would be on a floor of ice.


The force you have to overcome to start an object moving is .?

I have to guess either gravity or friction.If by that you mean a force that opposes the start of motion, then your force would be static friction.Static friction only occurs before an object starts moving, as opposed to kinetic friction which occurs when the objects is moving or sliding. The equation for static friction is: Ff = (coefficient of static friction) * FNInertia
