Friction is a force and is the result of any force acting on a object. It is usually associated with two sliding objects or an object sliding across a plane. When a force is exerted on an object an opposing force is created by friction. The opposing force is equal to the exerted force until the exerted force exceeds the limiting friction.
The limiting friction is determined by the coefficient of friction between the two surfaces and the "weight" of the object.
To put it another way, imagine pushing a sheet of sandpaper across a rubber mat, which would have a high coefficient of friction. The weight of the sandpaper is minimal so the limiting friction is rather small. Now put a 5kg weight on the sandpaper and it becomes much more difficult to get the sandpaper to slide.
Max friction = μ.N
μ = coefficient of friction
N = Normal force("weight")
What else can I help you with?
Were does fricition come from?
Ficition is not cool
Does fricition speed up the motion of a machine?
Nope - friction slows machines down.
What are some facts about friction?
Friction is a force, of resistance, that takes place when two or more objects make contact and when there is movement with one another. Friction keeps your feet on the ground and prevents you from slipping. Fricition is just like gravity.
Is a strong force related to a weak force?
no
What is a force with two related aspects called?
A force with two related aspects is called a dual force.
In what is a nuclear force related to a atom?
strong force & weak force.
How its force related to acceleration?
Force causes acceleration.
How is mass and force related?
Force = Mass x Acceleration
How are force and accelerate related?
As the force decreases, the acceleration increases.
How is electric force and magnetic force related?

How is kilogram force related to the SI unit of force?
Kilogram is a unit for mass, not force.
Difference between starting friction and sliding fricition?
Starting friction is the force required to overcome the initial static friction and get an object moving, while sliding friction is the force that opposes the motion of an object already in motion. Starting friction is typically higher than sliding friction.
