Examples of force of friction that causes an object to accelerate?

∙ 13y ago
Once a particular reference frame is established, whenever friction is observed between two objects, one of the objects speeds up as a result of the frictional force and one of the objects slows down with respect to that reference frame. Imagine a wooden block at rest on an ideal, frictionless surface. If you were to place something on top of the block and drag it across the surface of the block, the friction that resulted would cause the block to move. Since it started at rest and it ended in motion, it sped up as a result of a frictional force. In this example, since the non-frictional forces (the weight of the something you dragged along the top surface of the block) can only be exerted in the direction of the normal, the only force that is left that could possibly cause any movement of the block is due to friction.

∙ 13y agoAny frictional force can cause an object to accelerate, but the acceleration is always in the opposite direction of the direction of motion of the object. That is to say frictional forces can cause negative acceleration (or deceleration) of an object in motion.

If the ends are north to north the magnets will repel each other. Both examples will cause the magnets to move without physical contact.

Factors affecting movement?
Three factors that affect movement are friction, wind resistance, and velocity. Friction is the resistance that a single object encounters when moving over another object. Velocity is speed, and wind resistance is the opposing force on an object.
What is the primary factor in decreaseing the kinetic energy of an object?
Decreasing the mass or Decreasing the velocity
What does the y - intercept on a force vs acceleration graph represent?
Answer #1:The y intercept should be zero because of Newton's second law. Force andacceleration are directly proportional. The X intercept indicates that there issome force required to overcome friction if friction is not negligible. This valueis the force required to accelerate the object usually very small.===============================Answer #2:It's even easier than that. The graph had better pass through the origin,because zero force on an object means it can't be accelerating, and zeroacceleration of an object means there can't be any net force acting on it.Go back and read Answer #1 above very carefully. It correctly says that they-intercept is zero. But doesn't that mean that the graph must go through theorigin, and that the x-intercept is therefore also zero ? I'm just sayin . . .
What is causes of destruction of natural vegetation?
The increase of population in most countries.a layer number of people require more places in which to live ,more food,firewood and goods.
Which examples illustrates an object with kinetic energy?
A skateboard rolling across the street A hockey puck sliding across the ice
A net force causes an object to?
Accelerate, motion is generated by applying force to mass.
Can an object accelarate without friction?
Yes, an object can accelerate without friction. The only thing that is needed to accelerate an object is net force acting on it should not be zero. Then the accleration of body is given by Newton's 2nd Law: F = m*a . For example Rockets in space experience no friction, but they accelerate due to force on them by the exhaust gases.
Can friction cause an object to accelerate?
Yes it can, by reducing it's speed.
What occurs when while the force is acting on an object?
If there is no counter-force (usually friction), the object will accelerate.
What does friction mean in science?
Friction is a force that is created when an object or surface moves over another object or surface making the object to resist the direction of motion ( accelerate in the opposite direction).
Is Centripetal force causes an object to accelerate in a fixed direction true about centripetal force?
Cettripetal Force causes an object to accelerate towards the center. The direction changes as the object moves around the center and is not fixed if the object moves.
What are some examples of how friction can affect motion?
Take the invention known as a brake. It stops motion. Because friction causes drag, putting friction on one side of a moving object and not on another will cause the object to veer towards the side with friction. That is the principal behind the rudder used in boats.
What would happen if friction were to act in the same direction as the motion?
The object would accelerate faster.
How does friction affect motoin?
Friction is what causes an object to stop. Friction is cause by having and ridgy type ground forcing the object to stop.
What is the word for a force that opposes the motion of an object?
The opposing forces such as friction in case of solids and viscous force in case of fluids are always present in the natural world.a force can cause a resting object to move, or it can accelerate a moving object by changing the object's speed or direction.in a shorter way to say is frictionFriction
When a drill is used to bore a hole in an object?
Friction causes the object to heat up.
When friction causes a object to stop energy is converted into?
Heat.
