What is the effect of friction on motion?

Answer 1

Friction reduces velocity because it is the force responsible for the resistance to motion of objects on surfaces or in fluids. For example, Bowling alleys have very low friction whereas sandpaper has extremely high friction.

Answer 2

It is an invisible force that slows motion down. It is also responsible for creating heat between opposing forces .

Friction is an opposing force . It always acts in a direction opposite to the applied force , or opposite to motion .

It can cause a body to stop , accelerate or decelerate .

It's heating effect usually causes problems of heat loss , so it is always avoided . But actually , it's important in walking , stopping a speedy car , holding nails in wood , reducing the speed of a parachute ...etc .

Answer 3

The friction on a rolling object is 2N.

So if you have a pencil rolling along a table at a force of

12m/s^2 the force of the pencil would

then become 10m/s^2 because you have to allow

for fricton. So basically it slows things down.

Answer 4

Not really, no. Friction is relentlessly frictious. Basically, do you think it would be better to put your face on a belt-sander spinning at 500 revolutions per minute or 200 revolutions per minute? See? The velocity is irrelevant.

Answer 5

The effect of friction on motion will be an opposition to the motion.

If friction is zero then the very movement vanishes. That is, a wheel cannot roll on the floor.

Answer 6

it will slow it down

Answer 7

Usually friction will slow objects down.
