Can friction or acceleration due to gravity affect the weight of an object?

Friction and acceleration due to gravity do not directly affect the weight of an object. Weight is determined by the gravitational force acting on the object, which is independent of these factors. However, friction can affect the apparent weight of an object on a surface by opposing the force of gravity.


What is the difference between friction and weight?

Friction is the resistance to motion when an object moves across another surface, while weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity. Friction depends on the roughness of the surfaces in contact and the force pressing them together, whereas weight depends on an object's mass and the acceleration due to gravity.


What happened to the coefficients of friction as the weight increases?

Nothing. The coefficient of friction is constant, as it is dependent on the surfaces that are interacting. Normal force increases as an objects mass increases (Be careful with the word "weight", as it denotes the effect of gravity) in a constant gravitational field. This normal force is what causes an increase in friction.


What is the group name for push gravity and friction?

The group name for push gravity and friction is contact forces.


Is friction caused by gravity?

No, friction is not caused by gravity. Friction is a force that opposes motion when two surfaces are in contact and moving relative to each other. Gravity is a force that pulls objects toward each other due to their mass.

Why is it hard to push an heavy box?

it has to do with gravity, weight, friction, torque, and force..... simply put your lateral force (pushing from the side) has to exceed the friction caused by the box and the surface its on


What would be a good title for gravity friction magnetism?

'Gravictism'? (Formed from Gravity, Friction and Magnetism)

Is tis correct the force of gravity keeps Earth in its orbit or is it friction not gravity?

Friction has 100% nothing to do this the Earths orbit, its gravity and inertia.


How does friction and gravity affect your skill when bowling?

Friction and gravity affect your score, but not your skill.'Skill' is your ability to account for the effects of friction and gravity,while you plan the eventual outcome that you want to achieve.


How gravity can have air friction?

It does not.


Is friction a reaction?
