Friction is a force acting in opposition to the net force on an object. As such it will always take on the same magnitude and the opposite direction to the net force, constantly adjusting itself - up to a certain maximum. The maximum force that friction can exert to impede motion is determined by two factors: * the coefficient of friction; a constant assigned to the specific combination of the two surfaces in contact. * the normal reaction force; the force pushing the surfaces together. Multiplying these two together gives friction's maximum value. If an object is already moving, friction continues to exert the maximum force that it can, and a slightly adjusted 'kinetic friction coefficient' is used to determine its magnitude. Friction coefficients can be slightly affected in turn by further factors, such as temperature.

Which frictional force is self adjusting force?
static frictional force
What are the 2 factors that affect the frictional force between 2 surface?
velocity and texture
Does the nature of surface in contact influence friction force?
Yes. Roughly speaking, smooth surfaces tend to have less frictional force.
What frictional force?
Frictional force is the force that opposes motion between two surfaces.
What are the two factors that determine frictional force?
two variables are : the surface type and the mass of the object. So the more mass an object has the less friction it has. The less mass an object has, the more fiction it has.

What is a friction interraction?
Frictional interaction is the frictional force that influence and are influenced by the response of dynamic system from which they are generated and this interaction continuously changes the contact characteristics at the interface.
Does the nature of surface in contact influence friction force?
Yes. Roughly speaking, smooth surfaces tend to have less frictional force.
Is writing on a paper a frictional force or muscular force?
i am sure that it is not frictional force.....
What frictional force?
Frictional force is the force that opposes motion between two surfaces.
What are the two factors that affect the friction force between two?
normal force acting between them and surface roughness or frictional value that is mieu.
What are the two factors that determine frictional force?
two variables are : the surface type and the mass of the object. So the more mass an object has the less friction it has. The less mass an object has, the more fiction it has.
How frictional resistance along a fault affect the force released during an earthquake?
if the frictional resistance is high, the force will be greater, and if the frictional resistance is low, the force will be smaller.
What two factors that affect the amount of friction between two surfaces?
The magnitude of the frictional force is directly proprotional to the normal reaction between the two surfaces.(2)Magnitude of the frictional force is independent of shape and area of the surfaces
What determines the size of frictional force?
The size of the normal force and coefficient of friction determines the size of frictional force.
