Friction converts kinetic energy into heat. The result is that the moving body slows down.

Effect of speed on the force of friction?

Friction is independent of speed once an object is moving since faster does not mean more friction.


What is the effect on friction on moving objects?

It resists the motion (slows it down)


What friction deals with objects that are already moving?

friction acting on a such a body is called kinetic friction.here friction will try every thing that it can to stop the body.


Does fluid friction affect soccer balls?

All friction affects a moving object, the source of the friction and the object moving is irrelevant. Water on a soccer ball would effect the performance of the ball.


Where does the energy come from to burn a body moving into the atmosphere?

Friction


What is desirable effect of friction?

The desirable effect of friction is that it allows us to walk, drive, and grip objects without slipping. This type of friction also helps us stop moving objects and control their speed.


Why the mass of an object has an effect on speed when moving on a road?

because the more heavy it is, the more friction it has on a road. the friction slows it down.


What are the effect of friction on a body give at least 2 examples?

Friction reduces the speed of a moving body by opposing its motion. For example, friction between the tires of a car and the road slows down the car's acceleration. Friction between a book sliding on a table surface slows down its movement.


How does friction affect the law of inertia?

Friction has no effect whatsoever on the law. But if friction is present, then the law can't be demonstrated, because the moving object always has an external force acting on it.


How can you reduce the effect of friction on the motion of a body?

by applying water on the floor.


When a body just start to move which friction take place?

When a body just starts to move, the friction that is present is static friction. This friction occurs between surfaces that are in contact but not moving relative to each other, resisting the initiation of motion. Once the body overcomes this static friction, it transitions to kinetic friction as it continues to move.


What friction is used when an object sits still?

Static friction is the type of friction that occurs when an object is at rest and prevents it from moving. It arises due to the interlocking of microscopic rough surfaces of the object and the surface it rests on.
