What else can I help you with?
Can Friction occur in a vacuum?
Yes, in general friction can occur in a vacuum, but the only kind of friction that doesn't occur in a vacuum is, of course, air friction. There is no drag force on an object falling in a vacuum.
Is there less friction in vacuum?
In an atmosphere, when an object moves through the air it experiences friction with the air through which it moves. In a vacuum, there is no air and therefore no friction with an atmosphere as the result of an object moving through space. However, if two surfaces are moving against each other, there would still be friction from that action, even in a vacuum. In fact, in the absence of air that kind of friction could be increased.
Is there is friction if the object is moving in vacuum with 0 gravitational force?
No, there is not.
What doesn't have lots of friction?
Objects with smooth surfaces or lubrication between them tend to have less friction. In a vacuum or in microgravity environments, there is also less friction between objects.
Why does hoovering produce very low friction?
Hoovering (vacuuming) creates low friction because the vacuum cleaner's rotating brush agitates the carpet fibers, allowing smooth movement of the vacuum head on the surface. As the brush loosens dirt and debris, it reduces the resistance when moving the vacuum across the floor. Additionally, the suction generated by the vacuum helps pull the brush and any particles toward the intake, decreasing the friction between the brush and the floor.
What has no friction?
Idealized frictionless surfaces, such as in a vacuum or in certain theoretical physics models, have no friction. Additionally, superfluids and superconductors exhibit extremely low or negligible levels of friction due to their unique properties.
Is there friction in space, and if so, how does it affect the movement of objects in the vacuum of space?
Yes, there is some friction in space, known as "interstellar medium" or "space dust." This friction can affect the movement of objects in space by gradually slowing them down over time, especially for spacecraft traveling at high speeds. However, the impact of this friction is minimal compared to the effects of gravity and inertia in the vacuum of space.
Why do the particles move faster in a vacuum?
In a vacuum, there is no air resistance or friction to slow down the particles, allowing them to move faster without any impediments. This lack of resistance enables the particles to move freely and at their maximum speed.
Why doesn't the ice rings around Saturn melt with the speed they rotate?
space is a vacuum. no air means no friction. without friction the ice doesn't melt

Is pushing a vacuum cleaner a balanced force?
Yes, pushing a vacuum cleaner involves balanced forces. The force you exert pushing the vacuum cleaner forward is balanced by the force of friction between the vacuum cleaner and the floor, allowing it to move without accelerating.
Why there is no friction on space?
Friction is the force that resists motion between two surfaces in contact. In the vacuum of space, there are no surfaces or molecules to create this friction. Objects in space can move freely without friction because there is very little resistance to their motion.
