Friction will reduce when you try to get rid of it. But understand that it is impossible to eliminate friction. A world without friction would not function. The wheels on a car would spin in place, without going anywhere. If you tried to take a step forward, you would fall over, and then be unable to get up. Friction is what makes the world operate when it comes to transportation. --AN AP PHYSICS STUDENT

How does texture influence the sliding force of friction?

If the texture is coarser, then the surfaces will tend to "catch" more as they try to move. Coarser texture means more friction; finer texture means less.


What happens to a water molecule in a storm cloud?

What happens to the water molecule is when it is evaporated, it is being bounced around. Then, when the water molecules are rubbing together, that creates friction, and friction creates energy, that energy is the lightning. Next, when the cloud is collection water, it gets denser and denser, and when it is very heavy, the water just falls out because the cloud can't carry anymore.

How does the force of friction act relative to an object and motion?

Friction is a force that is created whenever two surfaces move or try to move across each other. -Friction always opposes the motion or attempted motion of one surface across another surface. -Friction is dependent on the texture of both surfaces. -Friction is also dependent on the amount of contact force pushing the two surfaces together normal force. -On the level of surface, the normal force is always equal and opposite to the wieght. -The force of static friction cancels out the applied force right up to and including when static friction reaches its maximum. -For applied forces greater than the maximum force of static friction the block starts to slip and then the value for friction becomes kinetic friction and the box is then under a net force so it accelerates to the right.

Is it possible to completely get rid of friction?

No, it is not possible to completely get rid of friction. Friction is a fundamental force that occurs whenever two surfaces come into contact with each other. While methods can be used to reduce friction, it cannot be completely eliminated.
