Does friction speed up an object?

Friction does not speed up an object; it creates drag and slows it down.


Explain how friction affects the motion of an object?

Friction is speed's worst enemy. If no forces act on an object, it is stationary. If a force acts on an object, it keeps going forever until another force acts on it (such as friction!!!).


Does friction have force?

Yes,friction have force because if there is no force then friction cannot take place. Force is a thing 1.from which we can move from rest 2.from which we can change the state of motion 3.from which we can change the shape of an object 4.from which we can change the direction of motion of an object 5from which we can the speed of an object


How does the force of friction act relative to an object in motion?

It will USUALLY pull the object backwards, in relation to the direction of the motion. This assumes that the material with which it has friction, moves slower than the object you are considering. However, if you put material on a conveyor belt, the force of friction, of the object with the conveyor belt, will pull it FORWARD until the object has the same speed as the conveyor belt.


What is the effect of less friction on an object?

If the friction is less, then the position will stay the same and NOTHING would act upon the Object.


Since an object moving in uniform circular motion keeps a constant speed there is no force necessary to keep it in motion?

false


If an object is moving at a what speed it will continue to do so unless a force acts on it?

Is it true or false that an object projectile motion is constant motion?

False. First it accelerates and at a certain point speed decreases till the projectile bursts or stops somewhere.


Which of the following can be used to measure an object's motion?

Nothing on that list has any effect on an object's motion.


Does friction increase as speed decrease?

Relative to its surface, friction is constant (this is known as the friction constant). The speed is decreasing on an object because friction is acting on it over a period of time, not because friction is getting stronger.

Velocity is the change of speed and/or direction of an object?

FALSE. Acceleration is the change of speed and/or direction of an object.
