If you wish to actually move an object, some other force on the object has to be greater than the force of friction.

Is there a force that can go against friction?

No. Friction can only slow an object down. If friction were imparting a force greater than that of the applied forces, then friction in and of itself would actually be causing the object to move, which does not happen.


The force needed to overcome kinetic friction is usually less than that needed to overcome static friction true or false?

False. The force needed to overcome static friction is usually greater than the force needed to overcome kinetic friction.


It usually take more force to start an object sliding than it does to keep an object sliding because static friction is usually than sliding friction?

usually greater than the sliding friction


Is static friction stronger than rolling friction?

Yes it is. The force of rollin friction is 100 to 1000 times weaker than static friction.


Is The force needed to overcome static friction usually less than that needed to overcome kinetic friction.?

True -It's "False"!


What is the relationship between friction and unbalanced force?

Friction is a force that opposes motion between two surfaces in contact. When there is an unbalanced force acting on an object, it can overcome the force of friction and cause the object to accelerate. In situations where the unbalanced force is less than the force of friction, the object will remain at rest.


What happen friction force stop moving?

When friction force stops an object from moving, it is because the opposing force of friction is greater than the force trying to move the object. The friction force acts in the opposite direction of the applied force, ultimately bringing the object to a stop. This occurs when the static friction force between the object and the surface it is on overcomes the force trying to make the object move.


An object can start to move only when the force applied to it is?

greater than the force of static friction acting on it. Once the force overcomes static friction, the object will start to move due to the force of kinetic friction opposing its motion.


What friction is greater than sliding friction?

Static friction is greater than sliding friction. Static friction occurs when an object is at rest and an external force is being applied to move it, requiring a greater force to overcome the initial resistance compared to when the object is already in motion and experiencing sliding friction.


How is friction related to net force on an object acceleration of an object a create sliding on a surface?

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object. The net force on an object is the sum of all the forces acting on it, including friction. If the net force is greater than friction, the object will accelerate. If friction is greater than the net force, the object will not accelerate and may start sliding on the surface due to the imbalance of forces.


What is required to get a stationary object moving?

An outside force is needed. If friction comes into play (which it likely will), the magnitude of the applied force must be greater than the force of friction acting upon the object in order for the object to move. FYI, the force of friction is equal to the coefficient of static friction times the normal force (equal to the weight of the object).


Is the force needed to overcome kinetic friction greater than static friction?

No, the force needed to overcome static friction is generally greater than the force needed to overcome kinetic friction. Static friction occurs when two surfaces are at rest relative to each other, requiring more force to overcome the initial "sticking" friction. Once the surfaces are in motion, kinetic friction occurs and typically requires less force to maintain motion.
