Friction is applied when a force occurs on two surfaces that are in contact with each other. There are many types of friction like fluid friction, static friction, rolling friction, and sliding friction. I am guessing this is a homework question. Aren't I right? Cool chick - OVER n OUT

When is static friction applied?
Static friction is not necessarily an applied force, but something that occurs when there is an applied force. Static friction occurs when there is no motion and there is a force being applied to an object on a surface.
What friction prevents an object from moving when a force is applied?
The friction produced that stops an object moving when force is applied is 'static friction'.
Is friction and static the same?
Limiting friction is the case of static friction where an object is right on the edge of moving, any more force applied to the object will cause it to move. Limiting friction is the largest value that the static friction can take
Is there a force that can go against friction?
No. Friction can only slow an object down. If friction were imparting a force greater than that of the applied forces, then friction in and of itself would actually be causing the object to move, which does not happen.
What friction that prevents an object from moving when force is applied?
Static Friction.
What is the friction that hinders a stationary object from moving on a surface when a force is applied to that object?
Static friction. The frictional force is greater then the force applied, meaning the object can't move.
How it is friction related with work?
Work = Force x Distance Friction is a force usually operating in the opposite direction to the force being applied. Thus friction adds to the size of the force applied and work is increased.
Which direction does friction work?
Friction's direction is always against the direction work is being applied to.
Why do you think a car stops when the brakes are applied?
Friction
What force is applied a surface by another?
It is friction force
Which direction does friction always work?
Friction's direction is always against the direction work is being applied to.
Which force stops a train when the brakes are applied?
Kinetic friction is the force that stops a train when the brakes are applied
