Friction doesn't cause or create movement, it's a force that prevents or hinders movement.

What effect does friction have when you are trying to move an object at rest?

It provides static friction, so the object cannot move until the static friction is overcome.


Does friction cause an object to move or be still?

Friction is an opposing force on an object, so it slows it down.


What is friction of a non moving object called?

The static friction of a non-moving object is called static friction. This type of friction prevents the object from starting to move when a force is applied.


What force can move object?

Gravity and friction


If the force applied to an object doesnt make the object move then no friction has been done is this true?

No, it is not true. Friction can still occur even if the object does not move. The force applied may overcome static friction but not cause the object to move due to other factors like weight or surface roughness.


As soon as an object starts moving what replaces static friction?

Kinetic Friction replaces Static Friction when an object is in motion.


What is forces that move an object?

Friction force


How are the force of friction and the force necessary to move an object related?

In any given case, friction can produce AT MOST a certain amount of friction; if the coefficient of friction is known, this can be calculated as the normal force multiplied by the coefficient of friction.The force necessary to move an object must, of course, be greater than this maximum friction.


How does the friction affect the way objects move?

Friction will slow down the moving object


What example of unuseful friction?

An example of unuseful friction is when trying to push a heavy object on a rough surface where the friction makes it difficult to move the object smoothly.


What happen friction force stop moving?

When friction force stops an object from moving, it is because the opposing force of friction is greater than the force trying to move the object. The friction force acts in the opposite direction of the applied force, ultimately bringing the object to a stop. This occurs when the static friction force between the object and the surface it is on overcomes the force trying to make the object move.


Does a stationary object contain friction?

A stationary object does not experience friction if all external forces acting on it are balanced. Friction only comes into play when there is relative motion or an attempt to move the object.
