No, friction is a force which always acts in the direction opposite to that of motion.

Does more friction make an object go faster or slower?

Friction will cause objects to slow down.


How does the force of friction for a sliding object vary with speed?

The friction can make you slow down , but if you lose friction you will go at a faster rate of speed


Can friction make object yes or no?

Friction can make object no.


Why friction is problem?

Friction can be a problem as it slows down the movements of objects. It may also stop the movement of object and as such, a bigger force is needed to make the object move faster.


A force can make moving objects?

A force will cause a moving object to continue moving. It will also cause the object to move farther and faster until friction slows it down.


Kinetic frictions is the frictional force needed to start an object at rest into motion?

false. Kinetic friction is the friction acting upon a moving object. It would be the frictional force against you if you pulled a box across a table. Static friction is the frictional force needed to overcome to get an object at rest into motion.


Does friction exist on a stationary object on a flat surface?

Yes. Otherwise, the slightest push would make the object move around.


Does increasing friction make it easier to move an object?

no. No because we would need to overcome friction when moving, causing us to move slower.


What can friction do to a moving object?

friction can slow down the object or make it stop. it can also cause the object to create heat.


What type of friction holds thingsin place?

It provides static friction, so the object cannot move until the static friction is overcome. For example, if the object at rest had 5N static friction, it would take 5.1N to make the object start moving.


If the force applied to an object doesnt make the object move then no friction has been done is this true?

Yes, there is us. Static Friction.


What role does friction play when moving a heavy object?

It can make moving heavy objects easier for example sliding friction you can slide it or rolling friction you can roll the object across some kind of round cylinders or even fluid friction with water running under the object can make it easier.
