What will happen if you apply a force on top of a disk kept on a frictionless surface?

The disc will slow down as a result of the friction applied by the force.

What is the work done against the gravity when a body is moved horizontally along a frictionless surface?
force?
Three blocks that are connected by massless strings are pulled along a frictionless surface by a horizontal force?
Well it's obviously not flying.
Is force different in a frictionless floor?
yes it is
What does the coefficient of static friction represent?
In free space or on a frictionless surface, it takes no force to move something. Where there is friction, the ratio of (force necessary to start it moving horizontally)/(the object's weight) is the coefficient of static friction on the horizontal surface.
When and object slides over a smooth horizontal surface how does the force of friction depend on the force of gravity on the object?
If the surface is smooth then it is almost frictionless. Hence the body will continue to move with constant velocity. However the object continues in a circular path and the weight is thus the centripetal force. It is assumed that the surface is very large)
Is there any frictionless train?
No there is always a resistive force such as air resistance. The closest frictionless train is the japanese magnetic train which has no friction on the track.
Which force is responsible for holding a car in a frictionless banked curve?
The Horizontal Component of the normal force.
When a horizontal force equal to its weight is applied to an object on a frictionless surface what is its acceleration?
9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second2 horizontally, provided the exercise is performed on or near the Earth.
Will a skateboard go faster if you push it with the same force for a longer time?
Yes. The force is measured as "acceleration" and is meters per second per second (or velocity per second) or the first derivative of velocity. On a frictionless surface in an environment without air resistance, and if the skateboard is a frictionless mechanism, if the skateboard is moving at a constant velocity, that means the acceleration is zero, which means that there is no force being applied to it and it is a body in motion staying in motion.
What will happen if you apply force on ice?
Application of force lowers the melting point and thus the ice will melt.
How can a person move when placed in frictionless area?
By having a force act on that person.
How do you escape from a frictionless room?
If you are in a frictionless room, you can't push off of anything to exert enough force to move away. However, if you have a bottle of compressed gas or liquid, the force of the escaping gas from the container will exert a reaction force to push you where you need to go. If you are near a wall, you can push off of that.
