How does friction works on an object?

Answer 1

All surfaces, even seemingly smooth ones, have microscopic roughness and unevenness.

This unevenness of two touching surfaces 'catch' on each other, and this produces friction.
IN MOVING OBJECTS

1.IT CAUSE THE MOVING OBJECTS TO SLOW DOWN OR TO STOP OBJECTS.
the friction works by the magnetic effect

Answer 2

Friction is when an object resists to move over another object. For example, when you rub two styrofoam cups together, you hear a squeaky noise. You are creating friction between the two cups, thus producing a squeaky noise.

Friction tends to slow down objects in motion, like if you throw a brick through the air, it will not go far, depending on the force you used to throw the brick. Its speed will gradually decline due to the brick's friction with air. Now if you threw a football through the air using the same force that you used to throw the brick, it will go a lot farther than the brick because of its shape. The blunt edge of the football makes it easier to 'slice' through the air, thus creating less friction. It is the same aspect with the shape of a car. The front of the car is blunt, so it will 'cut' through the air without much friction.

Answer 3

Depends on the object and enviornment. Is it stationary, accelorating, moving at a constant speed. There are a lot of differnent forces, is it round, square, flexible, solid or a liquid. There are PhD courses on this, not a simple concept.

Answer 4

The force of the friction is always opposite to the direction of the object that is sliding, and there is a specific value for this force depending on both the surface of the object and the surface of the slide, as well as the slope of the slide. if you are being given questions you will need to use trigonometry on the normal force, the force of friction, and the force of gravity.

Answer 5

How do you get friction?

You get friction if you tried to drive a car on bumpy and rough surfaces. The more friction you get, the more slower you'll go.

Now, it wouldn't be the best idea to ice skate on a rough surface in front of a whole crowd and audience because then more friction will occur and you will sadly fall on the frozen floor.

Answer 6

rubbing things together. like when your washing your hands or sliding on the floor or rubbing sticks together

Answer 7

Force. Friction will always go in the opposite direction of the force applied.

Answer 8

Friction acts as an opposition to the forward motion and inertia, exerting an antagonistic effect against motion.
