Friction is a phenomenon which acts to resist an applied force, both 'pushing' and 'pulling'. It is a force in itself, and may be considered the opposite of slippery. It will change the path of a body in motion.

Is push and pull motion or friction?

Push and pull are types of motion rather than forms of friction. Friction is the resistance encountered when two objects move against each other. Push involves applying force to move an object away, while pull involves applying force to move an object towards oneself.


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

Through push and pull and the other force is friction


What is push or pull that makes an object move or puts it into motion?

A push or pull that acts on an object is a force.


Is friction a push force?

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.


Why do objects seem to suddenly jerk forward when you push or pull on them?

Because you have to overcome static friction when you push or pull for it to move. This resists the force, then when overcome it will jerk, then slide with sliding friction resisting.


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.


Is force a push or a pull?

Force can be either a push or a pull. When you push a door open or pull a rope, you are applying a force in that direction.


What happens when you hits the coins at the bottom?

Friction is a sticky force that appears when 2 objects rub against each other. If you push or pull slowly friction helps pull or push the tower along with the bottom coin. If you push or pull quickly, the coins still rub, but the friction force doesn't have time to get the stack moving. So the coin shoots out without pulling the tower with it.
