Friction is when two objects touch each other, either smooth or rough friction causes the object to slow down. Also an unbalanced force is when the net force isn't 0 which causes a object to move and cause friction other than a balanced force is when the net force is 0.

Reconcile the fact that friction acts in a direction to oppose motion even though you rely on friction to propel you forward when walking?
apple juice tastes good.
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.
What is the effect of balanced and unbalanced forces on an object in terms of gravity inertia and friction?
Unbalanced Forces will try to create Motion (Kinetic Energy), balanced Forces do not result in Motion. Gravity, Inertia, and Friction will all try to resist the Motion of the object....unless the Force is in the direction of the Gravitational attraction, then the affect is additive.
What types of forces oppose motion?
Mainly friction.
Is friction useful for ships?
Yes and no. In order to go faster, a ship must reduce its air and water friction as much as possible, as friction force acts in the opposite direction as motion, ie slows the object down. However, it is friction that allows the propulsion system to 'push' the ship forward. This deals more with viscosity, which is *like* the friction of a liquid. In sailboats, it is the friction with the air that propels the ship.Because friction is related to the area of contact and the vector of the velocity, it is ideal to have the least amount of surface area facing to the direction of motion, which is why most ships have a Vshape in the front.
How does friction affect perpetual motion?
When there is friction - as is usually the case - motion will eventually stop.
How friction affect motion of bicycles?
----
How does it affect motion of a falling object?
it affects motion by friction a friction pull it down or up
What are two forces that resist the forward motion of a bus?
two forces that can stop the forward motion are, air resistance and friction.
In what ways does friction affect motion?
Friction makes things slow down.
How does gravity friction and mass affect the motion of an object?
Sin no
What is a force between objects that resists forward motion?
Friction between surfaces.
How does friction affect movement of object?
Friction provides a force, and therefore an acceleration, in the opposite direction of motion.
How do the laws of motion affect curling?
Friction can slow down the rock
How does the drag affect the forward motion of the airplane?
Drag slows the forward movement of aircraft.
How can friction can help the cause of motion in certain situation?
The direction of friction is always opposite to the direction of relative motion of two bodies in contact.For example :in rolling motion of sphere the relative motion of the sphere (at the point of contact between sphere and ground)with respect ground is backwards, and hence friction acts in forward direction ,there by causing motion .
How does friction affect an oject's motion?
It reduces it by converting kinetic energy into heat.
