Yes. Otherwise, the slightest push would make the object move around.

What is resistance to the motion of an object?

Resistance to the motion of an object is friction. Several different kinds of friction exist, including dry, fluid, lubricated, skin, and internal.


What is the opposite of static electricity?

"Fenetic"- No, that doesn't exist. I'm not sure what is the opposite of static electricity yet. Static Electricity is a stationary electric charge or a stationary electric charge that builds up on an insulated object such as a capacitor or a thundercloud


Can you slide without friction?

Friction will always exist. There is no way for friction not to exist. Even in the dead of space, the occasional hydrogen molecule will bump against you, causing friction.


Why do use powder on a carom board?

the main reason for doing so is that the surface becomes smooth n in terms of science to reduce "friction" that wud exist between the board n the striker due to which it will move more swiftly with lee deployment of power..!!

Why can't a snake move on a smooth surface?

A snake can move on a smooth surface. However, just like most other animals, it does require friction to exist between the surface and its body to move efficiently. A human would have difficulty walking on ice!


Why is rolling friction a type of static friction even though static means not moving?

It's static because the major cause of rolling friction is deformation of both roll and surface it's moving on - surfaces do not slide on each other(at any given instant the relative velocity of point on the roll that touches surface and surface itself is zero - at least in the model). The deformation causes the point of contact to be slightly displaced in front of the moving roll and reaction force at this point plus weight of the rolling object are no longer on the same line. This introduces torque that opposes the rotation of the roll. Rolling friction is essentially static friction because the point of the wheel in contact with the ground does not slide against it, but instead maintains its position. If enough static friction does not exist and the wheel slips against the ground, motion will not be proper. Sliding friction will however be taken into account in that case.


Where does friction happen?

Everywhere! Frictionless surfaces do not exist.
