What is the difinition of Frictional force?

A surface force opposing motion. Sticky friction opposes motion at zero speed and kinetic friction opposing motion at non-zero speed.


A car located on a level highway has a mass of 400 kg. The friction force opposing the motion of the car is 750 N. What acceleration will a force of 2250 N produce on the car?

Give me the exact answer


Concept of equilibrium with the laws of motion?

An object is said to be in equilibrium when two opposing forces acting upon it create a resultant force of 0.Example:A car is sitting on a road. The force of gravity pushes the car downward, while an opposing force pushes it upward. This causes an equilibrium, and therefore the car does not move as a result of these two opposing forces.


When will a force cause motion?

A force will cause motion, specifically it causes acceleration, whenever it is unbalanced by an opposing force, such as friction.


Force opposing motion between touching surfaces?

Friction


A primary force opposing motion on all fault is called?

friction


What is the opposing force that resits motion when two surfaces come in contact?

Friction


What force oposes motion?

That depends on the type and direction of motion to which you are referring. Friction would be a good example of an opposing force to forward motion along a surface, such as kicking a ball along grass or pushing a toy car along concrete or carpet. Drag or air resistance acts to resist the motion of an object through a gas, It is relatively unusual in that it depends strongly on the velocity of the object in question. For example, a sky diver will fall and accelerate towars the surface of the earth due to the force of gravity. As his velocity increases, so to will the drag force. At some velocity this drag force opposing motion will equal the gravitational force causing motion. This means that the net force acting on the skydiver will be zero and they will no longer continue to accelerate. The velocity at which drag force equals the force due to gravaty is known as terminal velocity. Gravity is a good example of an opposing force to upward motion, such as throwing a ball into the air.


What is motion stopped and started by?

Force. The stronger the force opposing the motion, the quicker the moving object will stop. The stoping force is usually supplied by a braking system of some sort. The force of brake calipers on a car's brake discs , is very very powerful . To start motion you still need Force. The greater the force the greater the acceleration. The force of a moving object is usually supplied by power from an Engine of so me kind


What is the direction of friction forces?

opposing the motion


What is the opposing force that resists motion when two surfaces come in contact?

I believe that would be friction


Driving along a road at a constant velocity of 100km h-1.the forces opposing the motion of the car total 800N. cars mass is 1200kg.what force do you need to maintain constant velocity?

It doesn't matter what the car's mass is, or for that matter, what speed you're talking about.If the total forces opposing its motion are 800 N, then you need to supply 800 N in the directionof motion in order to maintain a constant speed.
