If there was no friction, nothing would come to a stop. Everything you touch, and every move you make, would continue and build momentum (speed).

Which force slows down a ball when it moves?
The force of friction, which is the normal force (weight) multiplied by the coefficient of friction (how rough the carpet is).
Which is the larger the kinetic friction force or the statical friction force?
Statical friction
Is friction a natural force?
friction is a natural force
What are the two factors that affect the friction force between two surfaces?
The strength of the force of friction depends on the types of surfaces involved and on how hard the surfaces push together.
Friction is an example of what force?
which following is an exmpale of the force of friction
Is there a force that can go against friction?
No. Friction can only slow an object down. If friction were imparting a force greater than that of the applied forces, then friction in and of itself would actually be causing the object to move, which does not happen.
When is friction beneficial?
When you're really cold.
Is friction beneficial?
When you're really cold.
What are the factors that determine the friction force between two sliding objects?
The normal force between the two objects and the coefficient of friction. Force of friction = normal force x coefficient of friction.
Does the nature in contact influence friction force?
Since friction means a contact force, the nature of contact will influence friction force. Smoothness of objects affect the friction force. However, as contact pressure rises, the friction does not rise.
How is force and friction related?
The Force of friction is equal to the coefficient of friction times the normal force. Since normal force is equal to mass times the acceleration of gravity (9.8 m/s2), the force of friction is directly proportional to the mass.
What kind of friction requires more force to overcome rolling friction of sliding friction?
Sliding friction requires more force to overcome its friction.
