Why did friction make it difficult to discover Newton's first law of motion?

The concept of inertia requires that a body maintains its state of motion, unless a force is applied to it. So, the presence of friction force in nature causes the body to cease its moviment , as expected by the first law. Thus, the analysis requires an abstraction though, in the sense that friction forces are applied, even though it may not be evident to the observer.

Who discover the newton laws of motion?
Einstein discovered newtons laws of motion.
Explain why friction changes the the Velocity of objects and why friction can make observing Newton's first law of motion difficult?
newtons laws are idealised and don't involve external forces like friction and air resistance
What is Laws of Dynamic friction?
Simplified: The coefficient of dynamic (moving) friction, is derived from: > coefficient = force resisting motion (newtons) / force of object on surface (newtons)
Rate of motion?
Speed is the rate of motion.That also can have friction in it.From newtons three laws of motion
Why friction made it diffcult to discover newtons first law of motion?
Newton's first law of motion categorizes any force affecting the motion as an external force. Friction being an external force, negates its presence as an integral force of a motion. Hence friction cannot be used to observe first law of motion.

Who discover newtons law of motion?
Isaac Newton, he discovered: -Newton's First Law of motion. -Newton's Second Law of motion. -Newton's Third Law of motion.
Is wrestling related to science?
Yes because you can relate it to motion,speed,friction,acceleration and newtons three laws
Why is it difficult to move a cycle with brakes on?
sliding friction opposes motion on road
A sled is pushed with 30 N and sliding friction is 10 N Find the net force on the sled?
the net force is 20 newtons because friction always works against direction of motion.
Explain why friction changes the velocity of objects and why friction can make observing newton's first law of motion difficult?
Friction made it difficult to discover newton's first law because under the law an object in motion will remain in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force. Friction is an external force that slows objects in motion due to air friction (drag) and rolling resistance, making it appear as though this law is untrue.
Which type of friction opposes the motion?
Static friction is the type of friction that opposes the motion.
