If there were no friction, an object in motion would never stop. It would continue moving indefinitely until acted upon by an external force or it encountered a barrier.

What did people believe before friction?

I would say people never belived in something else than friction... They may not have had the understanding for what exacetly is going on but I think menkind realized pretty soon, that there is something like gravity.

Why is friction needed in the brakes?

Newton's First Law of Motion states: "An object in motion, remains in motion, unless acted upon by an outside force". Friction is an additional outside force that stops the motion of a vehicle faster. Without friction, the vehicle would never stop until it crashed into something.

What is an example of friction on an object?

Let us go for an answer that you may not have thought of shall we? If you were skating on ice and you built up speed then stopped skating, eventually you would stop. Why? because ice has friction though very little. This friction works on the friction on the blades of your skates bringing you to a stop.


Objects moved against a force are called?

When an object rubs against another, or something opposes force, it creates friction, hich is excess heat energy. in a way, friction just wastes energy, but without it, many objects would never stop moving.


What would happen if there were no friction between the soles of your shoes and the sidewalk?

If there were no friction between your shoes and the sidewalk, you would not be able to walk or run as your shoes would be slipping uncontrollably. It would be challenging to stay balanced and control your movements, potentially leading to falls and injuries.
