What does friction do to the object's motion?

The motion of the object might slow down or just change itself object would resist moving or keep moving. An object can have static friction, sliding friction, or rolling friction.


List and Explain 2 reasons why you might increase friction between two objects?

Car tires and the road: increasing friction will allow a car to brake faster. Shoes and the ground: increasing friction will make it less likely for you to slip.


What happens when Coefficient of static friction of object and any surface is zero?

I'd like to make this sound interesting, but the answer is that nothing happens. In the absence of forces that might move the object, it will just sit there. Static friction refers to friction between two objects that are not in relative motion. If your frictionless surface is a board and you tilt it, gravity will immediately cause the object to slide. If i put your object on my sandpaper-covered board, I'd probably almost have to tip it over to get the object to move.


What is the force of friction?

There is no force opposite to friction. In fact, friction is not actually a force, although we treat it as if it were one, in order to make the math and physics easier. The concept of a force opposite to friction might be 'lubricity' ... the ability of two surfaces to slide past each other. The opposite force of friction depends on all the other forces applied to any moving object, since those determine the object's motion, and friction always acts in the direction exactly opposite to the object's motion.


What equipment or techniques might be used to increase or decrease friction in soccer?

To increase friction in soccer, players might use cleats with longer, more pronounced studs, which provide better grip on the playing surface. Additionally, techniques like using special grip-enhancing sprays or applying textured tape to shoes can enhance traction. Conversely, to decrease friction, players could opt for flat-soled shoes or shin guards with smooth surfaces, which reduce grip. Field conditions, such as wet or muddy surfaces, can also naturally decrease friction between the ball and ground.

What do you call the force between two surfaces that are moving and in contact?

That might refer to the force of friction.


When or where might you need as little friction as possible?

You might need as little friction as possible in situations like lubricating machine parts to reduce wear and improve efficiency, minimizing friction between moving components in high-speed vehicles like airplanes or cars to maximize speed, or reducing friction between surfaces in medical devices to prevent tissue damage during surgery.


What causes friction between the two surfaces?

There are irregularities on the surfaces of any material which might not be visible to the naked eyes. This rough surfaces causes friction between any two bodies.friction is caused by gravity pulling on one object making it "stick" to the other object.yo' momma!


How might friction affect an object from outer space entering your atmosphere?

Friction slows objects down, changing kinetic energy into thermal energy. Usually an object from outer space will be travelling very, very fast as it enters the atmosphere and the friction (from the air resistance) will slow it down a lot. This energy is converted to heat, which is why objects can burn up in the atmosphere.


What is an example of transformation between kinetic energy and thermal energy?

Any time an object is slowed down by friction, most of the kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy.Any time an object is slowed down by friction, most of the kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy.Any time an object is slowed down by friction, most of the kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy.Any time an object is slowed down by friction, most of the kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy.


Is magnetism a friction or non friction force?

i hope that the friction and magnetism has a contact in common and friction is also about newton's third law...evan magnetism studies newton's second law...i hope that friction is all about attraction and repulsion...attraction and repulsion are common in magnets ...so there might be a deep relationship between friction and magnetism..!!
