Best Answer

No, friction is caused by the electrostatic attractions between atoms on contacting surfaces and physical surface irregularities. Gravity has no effect on friction.

Friction and Gravity are the two forces that affects an object's velocity. Friction is caused by both air and the surface on which an object is moving. Gravity is caused by Earth.


Is sliding friction caused by the attraction between two surfaces?

Yes. Without sliding friction or rolling friction, we would not be able to walk. It is the relationship between gravity, friction, and mass.

Tidal friction caused by Earth's stretching from the Moon's gravity is gradually slowing down the rotation of Earth.


What are the roles of friction and gravity in the car?

Friction in cars are produced by the tires and the clutch. The friction caused by the tires allow the vehicle to stay on the road, while the friction produced by the clutch makes it possible for the car to get moving. While gravity, for example supplies the force that pulls the vehicle down the hill.

Why is it hard to push an heavy box?

it has to do with gravity, weight, friction, torque, and force..... simply put your lateral force (pushing from the side) has to exceed the friction caused by the box and the surface its on


Which statement is an obervation if the ramp is steeper then the ball will roll faster or friction slowed the ball down or gravity caused the ball's motion?

"If the ramp is steeper than the ball will roll faster" can be observed during experiments. "Friction slowed the ball down" and "Gravity caused the ball's motion" are both conjectures (guesses).
