Kinetic friction is the friction that applies when an object is moving; static friction is the friction that applies when the object is not moving.
Static friction must always be greater than, or equal to, kinetic friction.

What direction does the force of friction act when a body slides?
In the direction opposite to that of the sliding body.
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)
When two continental plates collide sometimes one plate slides beneath the other in a process known as subduction. When one continental plate slides beneath another......?
material from the Earth's surface is returned to the interior.
When does the snow and ice the make up a glacier begin to move downhill?
When accumulated mass of ice weighs enough to overcome the friction against the ground, and slides from gravity.
Why do beads of water often form on a slippery surface such as a freshly waxed car?
A waxed car is not hydrophilic, it is not wetted with water. A drop of water falling on such a surface does not speak out wetting the surface. Instead the surface tension of the water drop pulls it into a spherical shape that sits on top of the surface until it either slides off or evaporates.
What is kinetic friction and sliding friction?
Kinetic friction is the friction that arises between surfaces in relative motion. Sliding friction is the friction that occurs when an object slides over a surface.
What friction is the force that slides objects experience?
That's the 'kinetic' kind..
When solids surface slides over each other the kind of friction that occurs is called BLANK friction?
sliding
Why does some friction occur with seeminly smooth surface?
Even though the surface appears smooth.at the microscopic level the surface has some peaks and cracks .when it slides over any other surface friction occurs. the seemingly smooth surface has some friction.
Thermal energy is produced when firefighter slides down a pole where does it come from?
The potential energy (due to the fighter's position in the Earth's gravity field). This is converted into kinetic energy as the fighter begins the slide and this kinetic energy is turned into heat energy by friction as the fighter slides.
What factor does the limiting value of the force of the static friction depend?
limiting friction is force of friction when a body slides over the surface of another body
Name the three types of friction?
Three types of friction are : 1. Kinetic friction :Friction that arises between surfaces in relative motion. 2. Static friction :Friction that acts between surfaces at rest with respect to each other 3. Rolling friction : Friction that occurs when an object rolls over a surface. Static, sliding, rolling.
A 5.0 kg block of ice at -1.5C slides on a horizontal surface with a coefficient of kinetic friction equal to 0.058 The initial speed of the block is 6.0 ms and its final speed is 5.5 ms.?
Assuming that all the energy dissipated by kinetic friction goes into melting a small mass m of the ice, and that the rest of the ice block remains at -1.5°C, determine the value of m.
What are the three types of friction and when does each apply?
There are three types of friction, static friction, rolling friction, and sliding friction. Static friction is friction between two surfaces that aren't moving relatively to each other. Rolling friction is friction between a rolling object and the surface that it is rolling on. Sliding friction is friction where an object slides, or rubs against, another surface.
Give a long introduction of friction and its types?
the four types of friction are static friction,sliding friction,rolling friction,and fluid friction Static friction is friction between two solid objects that are not moving relative to each other. Fluid friction is with any kind of liquid or glass. sliding friction is when a surface slides on another surface. Rolling friction is when you are moving with wheels.
What friction slows down an object that slides?
Slidig Friction is the kind of friction.
What is the Defintion of sliding friction?
Sliding friction is when two objects slide across from one another. An example is sliding a book across a desk. It is also known as Kinetic friction.Sliding friction is friction caused by an object sliding over another surface.
