There are many reasons why friction is an advantage to human motion. Friction helps humans to stop when they need to stop.

What type of friction prevents motion?

All types of friction act opposite to the direction of motion but static friction is the friction present before motion occurs.


Which type of friction opposes the motion?

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


What does friction do to the motion of object?

Friction slows down the motion of objects.


Is the earth when a body is in motion there is always friction to the opposite motion?

Friction.

What is friction and what effects does it have on motion?

Friction is the sum of resistance to motion and as for resistance, it slow down the motion.


How does the direction of friction compare to the direction of Motion?

By definition, friction is opposite of the direction of motion.


Which describes the relationships between friction and ima for a simple machine?

Ideal Mechanical Advantage ignores friction. Friction is a force that pops up when you move things. Friction in the direction of motion translates to energy -- lost energy. Unless you want to heat up the world.


What is the name of the force that resist motion?

Friction is the force that resists motion when two surfaces are in contact with each other. It opposes the relative motion or tendency of such motion between the surfaces.


Is friction necessary for motion?

No. Friction is just necessary for controlling motion.


When can motion stop friction?

Motion can stop friction in situations where the object comes to a complete stop or when an opposing force counteracts the motion. Friction occurs when two surfaces rub against each other, so if there is no relative motion between the surfaces, there will be no friction.


Is the ideal mechanical advantage of the ramp is it's mechanical advantage with friction?

No, the ideal is without friction.
