What causes friction and why does it occur?

Answer 1

Friction is caused by two or more surfaces rubbing together. At the molecular level, the particles are coming in contact with each other and, to put it simply, are sticking. The more particles there are in an object, the more they stick. This is called an objects adhesion potential.

Answer 2

Example:Friction between the ball and the table causes the ball to stop.
Two surfaces meeting with motion between them.
Friction is caused when the interlocking of 2 irregular surfaces comes in contact with.
Friction is a force that slows things down or tries to stop an object moving. Friction causes grip and heat for example the brakes on your bike will be hot after they have slowed down the moving wheel. Without friction you feet would slip on the ground and the tires would slip and flip on the roads, and they both rely on friction to stay put.

Answer 3

Friction is the pull between two or more objects that causes the objects to slow and eventually come to rest. There are many types of friction, such as air friction or surface friction, but all types of friction create a pull on one another. Friction is caused by the electrons of the atoms in the objects pulling on each other while moving. It is basically like magnets on the objects that pull each other together, but on an atomic level.

Answer 4

Heat, wear, resistance to motion. It happens when 2 rubber duckys and spaceships crash together and turn into a dangerous nuclear missle to destroy planet krypton but superman died. The end

Answer 5

It is because of electromagnetic forces between atoms.

That converts the kinetic energy (the energy in the movement) to heat energy.

Answer 6

Friction is caused whenever two surfaces come in contact and slide against each other. Anything can cause friction.

Answer 7

Heat
