How does friction affect the motion of a sliding object?

Answer 1

It is clear that frictional force will be parallel to inclined plane and in opposite direction of motion. So it will perform negative work on object rolling down. As a result it will reduce its acceleration, Time taken to travel from one point to other will increase Etc.

Answer 2

Friction can slow an object in motion down.

example, your car

there is more than one force of friction acting on the car

there is the friction between the tires and the road, along with the friction caused by air against the actual car itself

if you lift off the accelerator while driving on a flat slope, the car will start to gradually slow down
The answer depends. If the object is on a smooth surface, then the object will be in motion for a longer period of time. If the object is on a rought surface, then the object will stop completely. Either way, the object will slow down or stop.

It works to slow down

Answer 3

Friction acts in the opposite direction of the motion of a sliding object, causing it to slow down or come to a stop. The amount of friction depends on the surface roughness and the force pressing the surfaces together. More friction means more resistance to motion.

Answer 4

gas from above makes friction stop objects

Answer 5

friction affects a falling object becasue as an object free falls through the air, the air molecules are rubbing against eachother.

Answer 6

Friction is a force that always opposes motion. The force of friction therefore slows down the sliding object.
