Let us go for an answer that you may not have thought of shall we? If you were skating on ice and you built up speed then stopped skating, eventually you would stop. Why? because ice has friction though very little. This friction works on the friction on the blades of your skates bringing you to a stop.

Does friction speed up an object?

Friction does not speed up an object; it creates drag and slows it down.


Effect of speed on the force of friction?

Friction is independent of speed once an object is moving since faster does not mean more friction.


Name two ways to increase friction?

Rougher surface and more weight to the object increases friction

What are the negative effects of friction?

Friction createsheat when ittwo or more objects rub together. This also present in microwaves. Another effect of friction is that it slows down objects thathave friction applied with them.ADVANTAGES OF FRICTIONFriction plays a vital role in our daily life. Without friction we are handicap.1. It is becomes difficult to walk on a slippery road due to low friction.2. We can not fix nail in the wood or wall if there is no friction. It is friction which holds the nail.3. A horse can not pull a cart unless friction furnishes him a secure Foothold.DISADVANTAGES OF FRICTIONDespite the fact that the friction is very important in our daily life, it also has some disadvantages like:1. The main disadvantage of friction is that it produces heat in various parts of machines. In this way some useful energy is wasted as heat energy.2. Due to friction we have to exert more power in machines.3. It opposes the motion.4. Due to friction, noise is also produced in machines.5. Due to friction, engines of automobiles consume more fuel which is a money loss.

What example of unuseful friction?

An example of unuseful friction is when trying to push a heavy object on a rough surface where the friction makes it difficult to move the object smoothly.


What is an example of static friction on an object?

What is an non-example of Friction?

An example of a non-frictional force is gravitational force. For example, when an object is in free fall, there is no friction acting on it.


What is the example of object of increase friction?

a tractor pull


Does friction stop thing from moving?

Friction can stop an object in motion eventually. Friction causes drag on the object's motion energy and slows the object down by transferring the energy from one type to another. When the energy which acted on the object to put the object in motion is fully transferred, the object's motion will stop in the direction the motion and friction are applied. An example of this type of friction is the brake on a car. Friction can, however cause the object to change the direction of motion and simply stop affecting the object afterward. An example of this type of friction is the bumper rail of a pool table.


Is a magnet in front of a refrigerator friction?

No, a magnet in front of a refrigerator is not an example of friction. Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object when it is in contact with another object. The magnet sticking to the refrigerator is due to magnetic forces, not friction.


Which way is friction exerted?

Friction exerts a force opposite the direction of the object's motion. For example, if you were pushing an object to the right (looking from a side view) the friction would be facing left.


What is an example of a force causing an object to stop moving?

Friction is a force that can cause an object to stop moving. When an object slides on a surface, the friction between the object and the surface will slow it down until it comes to a stop.


An example of friction?

something that stops and object from movementexample:there is friction on the road . when the road is slippery your car eventually has to stop and what makes you car stop is friction.

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.


An example of two surfaces that have a low coefficient of friction?

human joints are an excellent example. they have a static friction coefficient of .01 μs and a kinectic friction coefficient of .003 μkanother good example would be waxed wood on dry snow (as in a snowboard on a ski slope) this has a static friction coefficient of .04 μsHope this helped!
