Best Answer

friction will act in the opposite direction to the propulsion force driving the train. so it will cause a resistance and so limit the velocity

Does friction affect speed or velocity?

Speed is a scalar (non-directional) representation of velocity. Friction affects the magnitude of both and the direction of velocity.

How would a reduction in friction in a stream channel affect the streams velocity?

As water in the stream channel flows, it encounters friction; the friction slows the forward movement. The shape,size, and roughness affect the amount of friction. High friction slows the stream significantly.


Which friction slows down moving bodies kinetic or static?

Friction reduce the velocity, hence, it affect kinetic energy. The potential energy from static pressure is then drawn to maintain the velocity (transformation of potential -> kinetic energy). We then see the friction reduce the static pressure but actually, it affect kinetic first.
