It depends. Two surfaces which are pressed together will show a frictional force resisting any sliding. If they are pressed together by gravity (e.g. such as for a book lying on a table), then the frictional force resisting a horizontal push will depend on the weight of the book, which depends on the force of gravity.

What is the group name for push gravity and friction?

The group name for push gravity and friction is contact forces.


Is friction a type of gravity?

No, friction is not a type of gravity. Gravity is the force that attracts two objects toward each other, while friction is the force that resists motion when two surfaces are in contact with each other. Both are separate physical phenomena with different causes and effects.

Does the force of gravity affect the rate of acceleration?

If you are asking the rate of acceleration on a surface, than the larger the force of gravity is, the more it will affect the rate of acceleration. The amount of friction depends one many variables, one of which is gravity. The larger your force of gravity is, the larger the force of friction is. Because of this, the more the force of gravity is, than the slower the rate of acceleration is because of the larger force of friction, which would be acting against the rate of acceleration. Therefore, the force of gravity does affect the rate of acceleration.


What is gravity and friction and weight?

Gravity is a force that pulls objects towards each other due to their masses. Friction is a force that opposes the motion of objects sliding past each other. Weight is the measure of the force of gravity acting on an object's mass.


If the gravity exerts 15 N and there is 10 N of friction how much force will Jim need to exert to move it?

Jim will need to exert at least 25 N of force to overcome both gravity and friction and move the object. This is calculated by adding the force of gravity (15 N) and the force of friction (10 N).
