Friction is a force that opposes motion. As you drive a car along an expressway, the friction from air pushes back against your direction of motion. Also, the friction between your tires and the road (rolling friction) pushes back in the opposite direction of your motion.

What is angle of friction?
The angle of friction is defined as the angle of a plane where a body placed on the plane will start to slide.
What term is defined as the force applied to a machine?
drag or friction.
As soon as an object starts moving what replaces static friction?
Kinetic Friction replaces Static Friction when an object is in motion.
What is the coefficient of friction for talcum powder.?
The coefficient of friction is defined as being between two substances, not just one substance.
What are the units that friction is measured in?
The coefficient of friction is dimensionless; it has no units.
That which slows the motion between two objects in contact with each other is defined as?
FRICTION .......... friction
How is friction defined scientifically?
Friction is a force present when things rub against eachother. Friction causes heat energy, and it also causes motion between surfaces to be reduced.
What is defined as the ease with which an explosive can be initiated by impact heat or friction?
The term is sensitivity.
Which term is defined as the ease with which an explosive can be initiated by impact heat or friction?
The term is sensitivity.
What creates heat energy?
Thermal energy is defined as the movement of molecules within an object.
Is friction is more on smooth surface?
Surface friction is defined as the resistance of an object experiences during motion. So, for the same object, a smooth surface has less friction than a rough surface. Think about skating on ice or a piece of plywood!
How is swimming a example of fluid friction?
When you swim, your skin and the water connect and rub, even if if it doesn't feel like it, as you glide through the water. Seeing as friction is defined as "the rubbing of the surface of one body against that of another," it is a perfect example of fluid friction.
