F(gravity) pulls a movable object toward the center of mass (generally the Earth). F(friction) resists F(gravity) when the object is scraping against something that is solidly attached to the mass (Earth).
A. Friction is the force that opposes motion between two surfaces in contact. C. Electromagnetic force is the force between electrically charged particles. D. Gravity is the force of attraction between all masses.
No, friction is not a type of gravity. Gravity is the force that attracts two objects toward each other, while friction is the force that resists motion when two surfaces are in contact with each other. Both are separate physical phenomena with different causes and effects.
No, friction is not caused by gravity. Friction is a force that opposes motion when two surfaces are in contact and moving relative to each other. Gravity is a force that pulls objects toward each other due to their mass.
Yes, friction exists whenever two objects touch. Friction is caused by two effects: direct contact of mechanical surface irregularities and the electromagnetic force. It has nothing at all to do with the gravitational force, the strong force, or the weak force.
Yes, gravity affects the normal force between two surfaces, which in turn influences the frictional force between them. In general, an increase in weight due to gravity can increase the frictional force between two surfaces.
Friction is a force that opposes the relative motion of two surfaces in contact, while gravity is a force of attraction between masses. Friction acts parallel to the surfaces in contact, while gravity acts vertically downward towards the center of the Earth. Friction can be reduced by using lubricants or smoother surfaces, whereas gravity is a constant force that cannot be eliminated.
The force of friction between a wooden block and a surface is determined by the normal force pressing the block onto the surface and the friction coefficient between the two materials. Additionally, the surface area of contact and the roughness of the surfaces can also influence the force of friction.

Yes, you need friction between your feet and the ground. That is caused by gravity or some other attractive force.
No. Friction is a force that decreases the relative speeds of objects in contact with one another. Gravity is an attractive force that exists between all particles of matter.
Gravity is a force that keeps us on the ground and friction is a force that either stops your feet from moving or doesn't do anything at all!
The force that holds you to a sled when it starts moving is friction between your body and the sled, as well as the force of gravity acting on you downwards. As the sled accelerates, friction between your body and the sled helps keep you in place and in motion together.
