What force tends to slow objects down but without it people all over the place like they were walking on ice?
Friction
When an object is moving faster through a fluid -how does this affect the force of friction?
In a fluid, the force of friction tends to increase when the speed increases. The exact relationship, however, is far from simple.
This force holds back the movement of an object.?
Friction tends to do that.
Friction between objects that are stationary is called what?
The friction between two stationary forces is called static friction. It is the friction that resists two objects to start moving against each other. Once in motion, the friction between two forces is called dynamic friction. Static friction tends to be greater than dynamic friction, which is why it takes more force to get a heavy box moving along the ground compared to keep it going.
What is the force that tends to keep a load from moving?
Friction, I think.

What forces govern thrown objects?
Momentum- a moving object tends to keep moving. Friction- pushing air out of the way slows it down. Gravity- pulls it down

How does the force of friction affect the motion of an object?
Friction tends to oppose the relative motion between two surfaces in contact with each other. To every action there's always an equal but opposite reaction. So friction serves as that opposite/negative reaction or force.
What is meant by the force of friction?
Friction is a force, which (usually) tends to slow moving things down.
What is the force that tends to keep a load from moving?
Friction, I think.
What force always tends to slow the motion of an object on a surface?
Friction or gravity .
What is the force which tends to prevent motion between two surfaces called?
friction force
Why will a spinning top not stay in motion forever?
It tends to lose rotational energy due to friction.
What is physical difference between surfaces with high and low coefficients of friction?
A high coefficient of friction may be caused by a rough surface. It may also be the result of surfaces sticking together, as in the case of rubber which tends to stick to certain surfaces, at least when it is dry. Lubrication - such as a thin layer of oil - tends to reduce the coefficient of friction.
