Increase the normal force, or push down on it more (add more weight).

friction = μ normal force

μ is the coefficient of friction which is different for different surfaces

What happen friction force stop moving?

When friction force stops an object from moving, it is because the opposing force of friction is greater than the force trying to move the object. The friction force acts in the opposite direction of the applied force, ultimately bringing the object to a stop. This occurs when the static friction force between the object and the surface it is on overcomes the force trying to make the object move.


Friction is a force that can make work easier true or false?

False. Friction is a force that resists motion, so it can make work more difficult rather than easier. Minimizing friction can help make work easier.


When you push a car what would make it stop?

The car will stop when you are no longer applying force to move it forward. Friction between the tires and the ground will gradually slow it down until it comes to a complete stop.


If you push horizontally on your book with a force of 1 N to make the book slide at constant velocity how much is the force of friction on the book?

The force of friction would also be 1 N, equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the force you are pushing with. This equal and opposite force of friction is what allows the book to move at a constant velocity.


What is the opposite force of friction?

There is no force opposite to friction. In fact, friction is not actually a force, although we treat it as if it were one, in order to make the math and physics easier. The concept of a force opposite to friction might be 'lubricity' ... the ability of two surfaces to slide past each other. The opposite force of friction depends on all the other forces applied to any moving object, since those determine the object's motion, and friction always acts in the direction exactly opposite to the object's motion.

Can friction is a force that can make easier?

Friction definitely is a force that can make things easier. Stopping a car for example is made easier by friction.

How do you make more or less of friction?

To increase friction, you can roughen the surfaces in contact or increase the force pressing the surfaces together. To decrease friction, you can make the surfaces smoother or reduce the force pressing the surfaces together.
