Would friction make an object faster?
No, friction is a force which always acts in the direction opposite to that of motion.
When friction is seen in everyday life?
You are able to hold things in your hands due to friction. One cannot walk if there's no friction. Similarly if somehow you're in motion and you want to become at rest, it is friction that allows you to become in rest. Without friction, if Something is in motion, it wouldnt be able to stop itself and will continue its motion. Its an opposing force that resists motion. Just when the applied force gets greater than the resisting force(friction), the object starts moving. Similarly just when the frictional force gets greater than the applied force, the object comes to rest. Hope it helps.
It usually take more force to start an object sliding than it does to keep an object sliding because static friction is usually than sliding friction?
usually greater than the sliding friction
How does force affect the motion and speed of an object?
As Newton's laws state, the greater the force, the more an object will accelerate or slow down. The force in the opposite direction of motion is called friction. So if you have a 3Kg block travelling at 2m/s, with a friction of 1m/s you will need at least 5N to keep it going. The more force you apply, the faster the block will travel, so it accelerates. The less force you apply the more it slows down and eventually stops because the friction is greater than the force applied. An object that travels in a uniform direction at a uniform speed (Newtons 1st law) will continue traveling in the same way and in the same direction (inertia) unless acted upon by a resultant force (friction).
What is a force that works against motion?
Friction.

No, friction is a force which always acts in the direction opposite to that of motion.
What makes motion?
Motion is created by an oppsing force that is greater than the rest of the common forces such as gravity, the normal force, friction and drag.

Why is friction needed in the brakes?
Newton's First Law of Motion states: "An object in motion, remains in motion, unless acted upon by an outside force". Friction is an additional outside force that stops the motion of a vehicle faster. Without friction, the vehicle would never stop until it crashed into something.
Which is easier to stop sliding or rolling friction?
== == AnswersIt is easier to stop sliding friction than rolling friction. The force due to sliding friction will always be greater than the force due to rolling friction. And since friction force will be in the opposite direction of motion it will be easier to stop an object in motion that is sliding than one that is rolling.
Effects that force can have on motion?
FRICTION and inertia that force can have on motion
What is the name of the force that resist motion?
Friction resists motion.
It usually take more force to start an object sliding than it does to keep an object sliding because static friction is usually than sliding friction?
usually greater than the sliding friction
Why can friction make observing Newtons first law of motion difficult?
Newton's first law of motion categorizes any force affecting the motion as an external force. Friction being an external force, negates its presence as an integral force of a motion. Hence friction cannot be used to observe first law of motion.

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 force does friction have?
opposes motion
