Answer 1 - This is because of friction.
Answer 2- This is because the force you exert must be in the same direction as the objects motion. So the part pulling forward does work, when the force pulling upward does not.

What can change Earth's surface as a result of the force of gravity is it wind ice landslides or plant root?
Gravity is the driving force behind:- wind (convection currents can only happen in a gravity field) ice (Ice moves and erodes under the pull of the force of gravity) Landslides (here the motive power is the pull of gravity)
What is an example of a pull in newton's laws of motion?
A pulley is often used in barns to lift hay. You use pull to open a drawer or door.
What are the units of gravitational pull?
Acceleration of gravity is equal to negative 9.8 metres per second squared.The so-called "pull" of gravity is a force. The only difference between the 'pull'of gravity and the 'pull' of a rope is the direction. They're both forces.Here are some widely used units of force:-- newton-- pound-- ton-- stone-- ounce
If you pull something with a force of 20N and the object is not accelerating what is the force of friction on the object?
minimum 20N
Stars are formed from interstellar clouds because of?
Because of gravity. Only gravity can pull large clouds together with enough force to overcome gas pressure.
When you pull a suitcase with wheels does only part of your force do work?

Energy in the form of a push or pull?
Energy can be transferred to material things by pushing or pulling AND moving it through a distance. The push or pull is a force, and the amount of energy is the magnitude of the force multiplied by the distance through which it acts. No matter how hard you push or pull, if your force doesn't move through any distance, then no energy is transferred to the thing you're pushing or pulling.
What is push or pull that makes an object move or puts it into motion?
A push or pull that acts on an object is a force.
How do you estimate the size of force on a car standing still?
Through push and pull and the other force is friction
Do the words push and pull indicate size and direction?
Push and pull indicate direction only, not size. A push is an application of force which causes something to move away from the source of the force. A pull causes something to move toward the source of the force.
Is force a push or a pull?
A push or a pull is a force
Motion under the influence of gravitational pull only?
Gravitational Force
Differentiate between contact and long-range forces?
A contact force is a push or a pull that is directly touching an object A long range force is a push or a pull that acts through a distance
What is the word that means to pull with force and that only has four letter?
Drag?
What are three examples of pull forces?
The gravitational force,magnetic force and weak nuclear force are the only ones I can think about right now.
Is force is a push or a pull?
Force can be both a push or a pull
Is force a push or pull?
A force can be either a push or a pull.
