Friction is speed's worst enemy. If no forces act on an object, it is stationary. If a force acts on an object, it keeps going forever until another force acts on it (such as friction!!!).

Does friction affects the weight of an object?

no, friction just changes the motion of an object.


How does it affect motion of a falling object?

it affects motion by friction a friction pull it down or up


How does friction affects the motion of and object?

Friction acts in the direction opposite to that of the net force acting on the object.


What is the difference between drag and friction in terms of their effects on the motion of an object?

Drag is a force that opposes the motion of an object through a fluid, like air or water, while friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object on a surface. Both drag and friction slow down the motion of an object, but drag specifically affects objects moving through a fluid, while friction affects objects moving on a surface.


How is inertia related to friction?

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion, while friction is the force that resists motion when two surfaces are in contact. Inertia affects how much friction is needed to overcome the object's resistance to motion. Higher inertia means more friction is required to change the object's motion.


How are friction and motion related?

Friction is a force that opposes motion, so the amount of friction between two surfaces affects how easily an object can move. More friction means more resistance to motion, while less friction allows for smoother movement.


How does friction affect interia?

Friction does not affect inertia, but it affects momentum. Momentum is the product of the mass of an object and its speed. Friction forces, if present, will always act to decrease the momentum of a moving object.


What does friction do to the motion of object?

Friction slows down the motion of objects.


Which type of friction opposes the motion?

Static friction is the type of friction that opposes the motion.


How does friction and air resistance affects the motion of a object?

Friction and air resistance both act as forces that oppose the motion of an object. Friction occurs between surfaces in contact, reducing motion by converting kinetic energy into heat. Air resistance, or drag, is caused by the friction of air molecules against the surface of the object, slowing it down. Both factors can decrease the speed and distance traveled by an object.


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.


Will friction resist motion of an object on rough surfaces?

Friction always resist motion if the object is sliding on surface.
