Does more friction make an object go faster or slower?

More friction typically makes an object go slower. Friction is a force that opposes motion and reduces the speed of an object.


How does friction make things go faster?

For something to accelerate or go faster, a force needs to be applied to it. When you walk, your shoe wants to slide on the sidewalk, but the friction from the tiny bumps on both surfaces creates resistance that prevents this, and you move forward. The sidewalk friction is actually pushing back on your shoe so you accelerate forward. Hope that helps.


Why is the force of friction directed the opppsite way of an object that is movin?

I never thought about it before, but here's one way to look at it:Forces on a moving object that act in the same direction it's moving make it go faster.Forces on a moving object that act opposite to the direction it's moving make it go slower.Friction never makes things go faster, or ... heaven forbid ... makes stationary things start moving.Friction only makes it hard to make things start moving, and it slows them down once they move.


What makes a toy car go slow down a ramp?

A toy car will go slow down a ramp due to gravity, which pulls the car downwards. Other factors like friction with the ramp and air resistance may also contribute to the slower speed. The steeper the ramp, the faster the car will go due to gravity pulling it more strongly.


Why do you go faster down a steeper incline?

Because with the help gravity it pulls it down. That why things go down fast.gravity and friction and momentum all play a part in why things go faster and so does energy, gravity plays a part because it pulls it down, friction plays a part because it will depend the friction on the item going down hill, momentum plays a part because the faster u go the more momentum u have, and energy plays a part because all things that move have energy and the faster u go the more energy ur creating hope that answers ur question

How does friction affect roller coasters?

It holds the coaster down. Less friction makes it go faster.


Why are longer snowboards faster?

They go faster because they have a longer bottom which means they have a greater contact with the ground. More contact means more friction. This is what makes them go faster than smaller snowboards.


How does friction affect the game of hockey?

It affects it because the more you skate on the ice the more marks its makes and with the friction of the puck, it will go faster on fresh ice.

Why do some objects go faster on different surfaces?

Friction


Do you want more or less fluid friction while swimming?

You want less friction. Then you will go faster.


Truefalse can friction slow things down?

true. Friction DOES slow things down. In fact, if there was no friction once something started moving it wouldn't be able to stop Friction can slow the things down. It's true.


Why does a the luge rider put his or her feet down?

it makes them more streamlined. The less air resistance a luge rider creates, the less friction with the air, and therefore the faster he/she will go.


Why does less friction cause cars to go faster and longer?

Friction is force that opposes an objects motion. Therefore, the less friction the object encounters, the less opposition it will have to its direction of travel. The less opposition it has, the faster it may go. Theoretically, a moving object that encounters no friction will continue to travel at a constant rate for EVER.
