What type of friction prevents motion?

All types of friction act opposite to the direction of motion but static friction is the friction present before motion occurs.


Which type of friction opposes the motion?

Static friction is the type of friction that opposes the motion.

Is the earth when a body is in motion there is always friction to the opposite motion?

Friction.


What does friction do to the motion of object?

Friction slows down the motion of objects.


What is friction and what effects does it have on motion?

Friction is the sum of resistance to motion and as for resistance, it slow down the motion.


How does the direction of friction compare to the direction of Motion?

By definition, friction is opposite of the direction of motion.


What is the name of the force that resist motion?

Friction is the force that resists motion when two surfaces are in contact with each other. It opposes the relative motion or tendency of such motion between the surfaces.


Is friction necessary for motion?

No. Friction is just necessary for controlling motion.


When can motion stop friction?

Motion can stop friction in situations where the object comes to a complete stop or when an opposing force counteracts the motion. Friction occurs when two surfaces rub against each other, so if there is no relative motion between the surfaces, there will be no friction.


What does the dierection of friction always act?

it acts in the opposite direction of motion or force


How is static friction and kinetic friction differ from each other?

Static friction occurs when an object is at rest on a surface, preventing it from moving. Kinetic friction occurs when an object is already in motion on a surface, resisting its motion. Static friction is usually stronger than kinetic friction.
