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.

Which force resits motion between objects that are in contact?

The force that resists motion between objects in contact is called friction. It acts opposite to the direction of motion and its strength depends on the surfaces in contact and the force pressing them together.

Static


What is a force between two moving objects that are touching?

The force between two moving objects that are touching is called kinetic friction. Kinetic friction acts opposite to the direction of the motion of the objects and resists their motion. It is caused by the interaction between the surfaces of the two objects.


The friction force that acts on objects that are at rest is?

If an object is stationary on a surface then the forces acting on it are the Gravitational force and the Normal force(the force of the surface pushing back against the object). Technically you could be pulling(or pushing) that object from opposite directions with equal forces and it would remain stationary. The important thing to understand is that a stationary object remains stationary so long as the net forces applied to it equal zero.


What is the force that acts between objects that touch each other called?

The force that acts between objects that touch each other is called friction. Friction is a resistive force that opposes the relative motion or tendency of motion between two surfaces in contact.

How does friction influence?

Friction is caused when objects or substances bump into each other. When you swim you create friction between you and the water which is called Fluid friction. Better yet look it up
