When does friction become inter-atomic force? This is not a simple question to answer, if it has any answer at all. If you think of two deeply corrugated surfaces exactly interlocked with one another, and apply a sideways force, what is the friction component and what would be the force to deform the corrugations to allow movement?

What determines the size of a frictional force?

The size of the normal force and coefficient of friction determines the size of frictional force.


Describe the size and direction of the frictional forces when a car stops on a flat road?

describe the size and direction of the frictional forces when a car stops on a falt road?


The size of forces due to static sliding and rolling friction between two surfaces?

static sliding has a much greater force then rolling friction cause it covers more area


Does force have size?

yes force has size. it also has direction


Why does friction increase as speed increases using particles?

The faster you go, the more air you have bashing into your surface. Imagine the molecules comprising air were the size of basket-balls. at walking speed, you'd only have 5 or 6 basket balls hitting you in the face every minute or so and they'd only hit you at walking pace. When you move up to running speed, you suddenly have 15 or so basket balls hitting you in the face every minute at running pace. Riding on a bicycle, you have between 30 and 40 basket balls hitting you in the face every minute at a very high speed. So the faster you go, the more basket balls you have hitting you at a higher speed. These two factors multiply together to give the friction force which increases as a square factor of your speed, (i.e. increase speed by 2, you have 2x the basketballs hitting you 2x as fast which equals 2x2 = 4 times the friction force). I hope this explanation is adequate. Cheers. by michelle obispo

Assuming that the force is great enough to overcome static friction; the force will change the momentum of the object.

What kind of force opposes the motion of parachute?

Air resistance acts up. Weight acts down. When they are equal in size, the parachutist falls at terminal velocity, without accelerating. Air resistance, like all frictional forces is electromagnetic.
