How does friction stop something from moving?
There are normally four forces acting on a body. They are friction force, applied force, weight and gravity. Friction is an opposing force that creates resistance to a body causing it to slow down. e.g If we have a car accelerating 1.55ms-2 and it weighs about 1400kg with its passenger and fuel. The applied force would be 2100N. The air resistance or drag force and the friction of the tries between the surface of the road has generated about 19500N. If we take away the friction force from the applied force, 2100N - 19500N = 600N of applied force to keep the car going but remember that this friction force will gradually slow down the car.
Why does the electric fan continue to rotate after it is switched off?
it is due to the inertia of motion .. a body tries to continue with the state it was in initially before an external force is applied on it either to take it in motion or to bring it at rest
What is a force of attration between two masses?
It is a force that tries to pull them together. It is called "gravitational force", but most people just call it "gravity".
What is the definition of relative force?
Relative Force- The ratio of one force against another on the same object. Attached is a good link that goes into more depth and tries to make sense of it.
What is meaning of self-adjusting force?
When you stretch a rubber band, it tries to overcome your force and return to its original state. This is what is called self adjusting force. It helps body achieve its lowest potential state when the external force stops acting.
What is sheer as a force?
Shear, as in scissors or other shears, is the force that literally tries to shear something. How much force will a material take when shear force is applied? The answer to that question is quite important in some engineering applications.

How does gravitational force effect a space traveler?
On launch, the gravitational force increases their body weight by about three or four times, and their blood tries to stay grounded, sending the body into chaos.
Why is the upward force applied by a table on book kept on it called a self-adjusting force?
When the book is on the table the force of gravity tries to pull it down to the center of the earth. But according to Newton's third law of motion the every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Thus the table applies the same force on the book as well. This is called a self-adjusting force as the table tries to remain in its original state i.e. its lowest potential state.

What is the name of the vintage game where the player tries to drop a ball from lever to lever and gets more points the further down he goes?
THE GAME WAS DROP IT MADE BY MILTON BRADLEY
What is mechanical stress?
I would Ike to be more explanatory on this. when force is applied on object(e.g. a piece )certain area or ideally speaking whole area (c/s) tries to elongate or compress.but due to elastic property of material,piece on which force is acted,tries to regain its past shape or stage so one resistant force is developed.This force is called stress.and stress intensity is given by: mechanical stress is force divided by area σ=F/A if unit of F is Newton and area in Sq. m then mech. stress is in Pascal
What is the force that tries to objects sliding across each other?
gravity

What is the opposite force to the strong nuclear force?
The electro-magnetic force, I guess. The strong nuclear force holds the nucleons together and the electro-magnetic tries to push them apart.
What do you call the force that tries to stop one object moving into another?
ewan q!!
What is the force that tries to pull the rocket back to earth?
Gravitational Pull.
