What if there is no friction would a a moving object stop moving?

The object would not cease moving, as there is no friction to act like a brake.


What would happen if there was no friction to a moving object?

They won't be able to stop.


Why don't things stop when you push it like a ball on the ground?

Things will eventually stop if there is a force to stop it... and no force that keeps it moving. If there are no forces on an object, or the forces are balanced (the friction forces on a car are compensated by forces that pull it forward), it will continue moving.


What can friction do to a moving object?

friction can slow down the object or make it stop. it can also cause the object to create heat.


What forces slow down and stop an object moving trough air?

friction


If you kick a soccer ball on a field of grass it will stop because?

Friction with the grass and air will eventually bring the ball to a stop.


What effect does friction and gravity have on an object?

One effect of friction on an object is the ability to make an object stop when moving such as a car's tires on the road at a stop sign. One effect of gravity is the falling of objects to Earth.


Why doesn't a moving object last forever?

A moving object stops moving due to friction. Friction may come from the surface on which it is rolling, the air through which it is moving, etc. Objects in a vacuum theoretically, will not stop moving until they run into something else.

Does friction stop thing from moving?

Friction can stop an object in motion eventually. Friction causes drag on the object's motion energy and slows the object down by transferring the energy from one type to another. When the energy which acted on the object to put the object in motion is fully transferred, the object's motion will stop in the direction the motion and friction are applied. An example of this type of friction is the brake on a car. Friction can, however cause the object to change the direction of motion and simply stop affecting the object afterward. An example of this type of friction is the bumper rail of a pool table.


What are the consequences of friction?

Friction requires that forces be greater to move an object, but friction also makes it possible for an object to stop moving without an external applied force. Remember, friction ALWAYS opposes motion.


What is it called when friction stops something from moving?

The frictional force needed to just stop something from moving is called limiting friction, and the object is said to be in limiting equilibrium.
