Friction is a push force. When one object pushes one direction on an object the other object pushes the opposite direction. The harder an object is pushed against another the more friction there is.

What is the direction of friction on the furnirure?

The direction of the friction force is always opposed to the movement. If I push my desk to the north, the friction force will be to the south - and if I don't push hard enough, it won't budge.

When you push a book why does it stop?

When you push a book, it stops because of the force you are applying to it. The friction between the book and the surface it is resting on counteracts the force you are applying, bringing the book to a stop.


When you push a box across floor n the box resists your push what horizontal force is resisting you?

If it doesn't move, it doesn't accelerate; therefore the net force must be zero.

How can you make the friction force arrow longer?

Increase the normal force, or push down on it more (add more weight). friction = μ normal force μ is the coefficient of friction which is different for different surfaces


When we push a heavy objectit doesn't move.explain the terms of net force?

If it doesn't budge, the net force must be zero. What usually happens is that there is a force of friction that opposes the push or pull; as you pull harder, the force of friction increases. At a certain treshold, there is not enough friction (it can only increase to a certain level), and the object starts moving.


How do you estimate the size of force on a car standing still?

Through push and pull and the other force is friction
