No, friction is caused by the electrostatic attractions between atoms on contacting surfaces and physical surface irregularities. Gravity has no effect on friction.

Describe two forces that can affect an objects velocity?

Friction and Gravity are the two forces that affects an object's velocity. Friction is caused by both air and the surface on which an object is moving. Gravity is caused by Earth.


Is sliding friction caused by the attraction between two surfaces?

Yes. Without sliding friction or rolling friction, we would not be able to walk. It is the relationship between gravity, friction, and mass.


Is gravity needed for walkiing?

Yes, you need friction between your feet and the ground. That is caused by gravity or some other attractive force.


What are the roles of friction and gravity in the car?

Friction in cars are produced by the tires and the clutch. The friction caused by the tires allow the vehicle to stay on the road, while the friction produced by the clutch makes it possible for the car to get moving. While gravity, for example supplies the force that pulls the vehicle down the hill.


Why is it hard to push an heavy box?

it has to do with gravity, weight, friction, torque, and force..... simply put your lateral force (pushing from the side) has to exceed the friction caused by the box and the surface its on

Can friction exist without gravity?

Yes, friction exists whenever two objects touch. Friction is caused by two effects: direct contact of mechanical surface irregularities and the electromagnetic force. It has nothing at all to do with the gravitational force, the strong force, or the weak force.


Who would win in a fight between the physical embodiments of gravity and friction?

Gravity, friction lacks the shear power that gravity has and wouldn't stand a chance.
