What is the force that opposes motion when two objects in contact attempt to move against each other?
The force of friction between their surfaces touching each other.
A force that opposes movement between two surfaces in contact?
Friction is the force that doesn't want two surfaces to move against each other. For example, when you are rubbing the mat, the friction between you and the mat tries to prevent you from moving against the mat. Same with braking.
When two surfaces rub against each other the result is?
Friction
What force decreases the acceleration of two objects moving against each other?
The force that decreases the acceleration of two objects moving against each other is the gravitational force.
When solid surfaces rub against each other this friction is called?
static friction
What is a force between two surfaces that rub against each other?
friction
What is the force that one surface exerts on each other when two surfaces rub against each other?
Friction
Is a force that opposes or acts against motion when two surfaces rub against each other?
Not necessarily.
What is the force that opposes motion when two objects in contact attempt to move against each other?
The force of friction between their surfaces touching each other.
What do you mean by friction?
When two surfaces rub against each other, friction is formed. It is the force resisting the relative motion between fluid layers, solid surfaces and material elements that are sliding against each other.
What is the force that can move between surfaces?
The force that can move between surfaces is called friction. It resists the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material element sliding against each other.
What is frictional force and its uses?
Friction is a force that is generated when two surfaces rub against each other. It is useful for preventing slipping or sliding.
What two factors determine the strength of friction force when two surfaces slide against each other?
Motion and acceleration
Is friction a non contact force?
Because it is two surfaces rubbing against each other, in this case it creates heat and possibly static electricity. To touch; contact. If two surfaces rub against each other forcefully this is a contact force.
A force that opposes movement between two surfaces in contact?
Friction is the force that doesn't want two surfaces to move against each other. For example, when you are rubbing the mat, the friction between you and the mat tries to prevent you from moving against the mat. Same with braking.
What are friction forces?
The frictional forces refers to the force that resists the relative motion of the fluid layers and the solid surfaces. It usually resists the given material elements from sliding against each other.
How is friction formed?
Scientists are not completely sure what causes friction; however, it is thought to be caused by the interactions between the tiny bumps on surfaces as they rub against each other. The bumps on each surface bend and exert a force on each other making it hard for the surfaces to slip over each other.
