Friction opposes the motion of objects by acting in the opposite direction to their movement. It can cause objects to slow down or come to a stop. The amount of friction depends on the surfaces involved and the force pressing them together.

What could happen if there is no friction in land?

Friction is what holds, stops things from moving. if there was no friction then things would be on the move 24/7.


How does friction move things?

Friction does not move things. Friction is the force that opposes motion between two objects that are touching. Not enough friction allows for things to move, depending on what kind of friction; the less force it has.

What are two things affected by friction and how does it impact their movement?

Friction affects the movement of objects by creating resistance. Two things affected by friction are the speed of an object and the amount of force needed to move it. Friction can slow down the speed of an object and require more force to overcome, making it harder to move.


Do all forces make things move?

All forces make things move only if it is bigger than friction or resistance. In a vacuum (e.g. space), all forces make things move. But this is not reality.

Friction as a friend and foe?

Friction can be considered as a friend or a foe. Friction as a friend: 1.It helps us to hold things. 2.It helps us to move. It helps us to move over wet floor or a muddy track. 3.It helps us to attach many things on the wall surface. 4.The friction between the wheels and the vehicle allows the vehicle to stop, start or change the direction. Friction as a foe: 1.It wastes a large amount of energy as when 2 objects rubs each other, a large amount of heat energy is released.


What is a sentence you can use for the word Friction?

Friction Is the Force that makes it harder for two things to move against one another. 1) When I rub my hands I make friction. 2) When friction is used , energy is produced.


Does friction have force?

Yes,friction have force because if there is no force then friction cannot take place. Force is a thing 1.from which we can move from rest 2.from which we can change the state of motion 3.from which we can change the shape of an object 4.from which we can change the direction of motion of an object 5from which we can the speed of an object
