No. But in outer space, friction is quite insignificant for most practical purposes; that's why planets can orbit their stars for billions of years.

Absolutely, starting from virtually any place in Israel.


Will a wider area create more friction?

Actually, contact surface area has absolutely nothing to do with friction. This is due to pressure that will equalize over any area. All that matters is the material of the two surfaces in contact.


Friction vanishes suddenly how would it affect your lifes?

Absolutely nothing could make any purposeful movement and nothing would stay-put if any force were applied to it.


Is there a lot of friction on an accelerating car?

Absolutely, as there is air resistance, the stickiness of the car's wheels, and the friction of the axles turning the wheels.


Does the coefficient of sliding friction depend on the kinds of materials in contact?

Absolutely! The determination of any kind of friction, kinetic friction (what you call sliding friction, once an object is in motion) OR static friction (the friction it takes to start motion) is determined by the type of materials used. It really depends on the temporary molecular bonds formed between the molecules of the material. The more bonds can form, the less easily something will move (thus the more friction it has)


What type of car dashboards will a garmin portable friction mount fit on?

The garmin portable friction mount will work in any vehicle. The vehicle must have a stable area for you to place the friction mount, once you do that you're set!


Can there be no friction?

It is impossible to have no friction. If there was no friction we would be sliding all over the place, nothing would be balanced.

Is there any friction besides fluid friction in swimming?

There is 'skin friction' also know as drag. There is also lubricated friction.


Does friction effect vehicles?

Absolutely. Without friction, you would have no traction with your tires. Nothing to get you moving. Nothing to stop you, and nothing to allow you to turn corners. And your brakes wouldn't be very effective without friction. Friction, however, does also have its costs. It takes energy to overcome friction in the engine and drivetrain. Bearings have friction. Pistons and piston rings have friction in the cylinders. Air friction also opposes the movement of the vehicles.
