Best Answer

yes. to have friction you need more movement between what ever is making the friction which then brings you more work

Does friction means heat?

Kinda-sorta. If you have friction and then a force that's overcoming that friction, making something slide - then you will get heat. The more friction and the more force, the more heat.


How is static friction and kinetic friction differ from each other?

They are different because static means "not in motion" and kinetic means "in motion". Kinetic friction means friction that is moving and static friction means friction that is not moving.


How does texture influence the sliding force of friction?

If the texture is coarser, then the surfaces will tend to "catch" more as they try to move. Coarser texture means more friction; finer texture means less.


Why would machines work better without friction?

The smaller amount of friction a machine has, the more efficient it becomes.


Does a machine do less work when friction in a machine increases?

Yes. Since more work goes to counter the friction force, less work goes to do the actual function of the machine.


How does friction change how far a car goes?

Friction does work to slow down the car. Thus, the more friction there is, the less distance a car can go.


Less friction means more or less heat?

Less heat


A machine makes work easier by reducing force and increasing?

Work equals force times distance. In reality, you don't decrease the force by the same proportion that you increase the distance because of friction. In English, you need less power (work per unit of time) to complete the task, but it takes more work (energy) because of more distance of friction.


What does reduce the force of friction mean?

it means enabling a substance to move more frequently on a surface a friction is a force which resists the movement of an object


Is friction will work against force?

Friction will work against force


Would it be better to increase or decrease friction in swimming?

If you want to swim faster, then decreasing friction would help you with that - Less friction means you glide easer through the water. If you want a more efficient workout then increasing friction would help you with that. If you were to put a track suit on before entering the water you'd have to work a lot harder for each lap in the pool.


Can you work on friction less floor?

No, We cannot do work on friction less surface
