Friction acts in the opposite direction that the object is moving or trying to move. The force of friction is calculated by multiplying the normal force of the object, usually mass times gravity, by the coefficient of friction.

How is friction applied?
Friction is applied, by making the surface of whatever you want to slide across it (the thing you want to apply friction to) is really rough. You can inscrease, and decrease the amount of friction acting on an object by changing the texture, material and smoothness of the surface. Smoother surfaces don't apply much friction to objects, and rougher surfaces apply a lot. An example of this, is Wellington Boots. They have rough underneaths, so you don't fall over - they apply a lot of friction.
When does rolling friction apply?
When things are rolling.
What are principles of friction?
there is nothing called as principle of friction. friction is just a force which will act in the opposite direction of which you apply force.

Is rolling static and sliding friction apply in gymnastics?
Of course! Friction applies in gymnastics in TONS of ways.
How does friction apply to running?
It slows your speed down every time your feet touch the ground.
What forces apply to bobsledding?
gravity and friction along with inertia
What does the slope of a friction vs weight graph mean?
the slope is the coefficient of friction. look at the equation of the graph as apply it to any of the friction problems your teacher gave you.
What force is used to slow down a bike?
strength New: The force of friction. When you apply the brakes, they grip the wheel, creating friction, which slows down the spinning.
What are three types of friction and when does each apply?
liquid,solid,gas
