Friction is a very helpful thing and with out it you couldn't move, speed up, slow down, change direction, bend, or twist. Without friction nothing would ever happen. Friction can oppose motion or it can make it difficult for an object to move across a surface. Friction both helps an hinders every thing we do.
the object would not move without friction
The friction acts in the opposite direction to that of direction of motion.
So friction slows the object and if no external force is applied the object will come to stop.
Friction is a force that opposes the direction of motion between two materials. It is parallel to the surface your object is touching. Friction depends on the coefficient of friction and the normal force (force exerted perpendicular to the surface your object is on; opposes gravity on a flat surface). There are two kinds of friction: static and kinetic. Static friction must be overcome in order to move an object. Once the object is in motion the friction acting on it is called kinetic. Static friction has a threshold of force that is needed to get the object moving but once the object is in motion it can be moved at a constant velocity with less force required.

What animals use air resistance?
All of them do - walking, swimming, climbing, flying etc etc. all require friction to happen.
How do animals generate electricity?
Animals do not generate electricity. If you wanted to know about static charge that is produced by an animal body, it occurs due to the friction of fur.
What covers the body of bony fish and reduce friction when swimming?
These types of fish alway use MUCUS to cover their body, and to help reduce friction.
What are the specialized structures that animals use in feeding?
There are many specialized structures that animals use in feeding. Some animals use sharp teeth while others use sheer arm power.
What do animals use water for?
Animals use water to carry oxygen to their bloodstream to help them live. They do this by drinking it. Some animals use water to clean themselves or to cool down. Some live in it. Animals like humans also use it to create energy.
What animals use friction every day?
all animals use friction every single day! when they swim, walk, run etc etc
Why do you need friction on animals?
Because without the friction on animals the the neutrons of the atoms would not be able to work properly.
Which parts of a bike use friction?
The brakes use friction to stop the bike and the tyres use friction to grip the road.
Should one add static friction and kinetic friction together to find the total friction force?
No. You use whichever applies: if an object is at rest, you use static friction. If it is moving, you use kinetic friction.
What animals use air resistance?
All of them do - walking, swimming, climbing, flying etc etc. all require friction to happen.
Use of center lathe for Friction welding?
Centre lathe can use for friction welding.
What do you use a friction striker to light?
you use an friction striker to light what?
What is friction board?
its a device or an instrument that use in laboratory.
Is the force that brakes use to stop car?
friction
What do you use to reduce friction?
you can use some anti-friction like lubricants (oil,gas).
How do you use use the word friction in a sentence?
I sense a lot of friction between Israel and Gaza. == ==
Types of mechanism in which friction is essential for proper operation?
There are several types of mechanisms that use friction to operate. The include friction drives, friction clutches, and friction brakes.
