There are normally four forces acting on a body. They are friction force, applied force, weight and gravity.

Friction is an opposing force that creates resistance to a body causing it to slow down.

e.g

If we have a car accelerating 1.55ms-2 and it weighs about 1400kg with its passenger and fuel. The applied force would be 2100N. The air resistance or drag force and the friction of the tries between the surface of the road has generated about 19500N. If we take away the friction force from the applied force, 2100N - 19500N = 600N of applied force to keep the car going but remember that this friction force will gradually slow down the car.

What is it called when friction stops something from moving?

The frictional force needed to just stop something from moving is called limiting friction, and the object is said to be in limiting equilibrium.


Does it take the same amount of force to start something as it does to keep it moving?

No. It takes a force to put something in motion, and it takes force to stop it. To keep it moving requires zero force. If there is no opposing friction force, it will continue moving forever. If you can significantly reduce the friction, a small force can keep an object moving - just enough to counteract the force of friction.No. It takes a force to put something in motion, and it takes force to stop it.

What if there is no friction would a a moving object stop moving?

If there is no friction, a moving object would continue moving at a constant velocity in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force. Without friction to oppose its motion, the object would not come to a stop on its own.


What is an example of a force causing an object to stop moving?

Friction is a force that can cause an object to stop moving. When an object slides on a surface, the friction between the object and the surface will slow it down until it comes to a stop.


What are three things that friction can do to a moving object?

Friction can slow down the object's motion, decrease its speed, and ultimately stop the object from moving.

How creates friction?

A force is needed to start something moving and to stop it once it is moving. A force can make something speed up or slow down. Friction is a force generated when surfaces move across each other.


Why doesn't a moving object move forever?

A moving object stops moving due to friction. Friction may come from the surface on which it is rolling, the air through which it is moving, etc. Objects in a vacuum theoretically, will not stop moving until they run into something else.

How fast or slow something is moving?

If there is no friction, a moving object would continue moving at a constant velocity in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force. Without friction to oppose its motion, the object would not come to a stop on its own.


What is the friction of cricket?

Friction stops the ball from moving infinitely. It also stops the clubs and people from moving infinitely. Without friction, all of these things would just keep sliding and sliding and sliding.
