The generalized answer is: Friction is equal to the forces acting upon an object.

I know only 2 laws of friction.....The first states that friction between two surfaces is proportional to the force pressing one another am assuming its normal force or the perpendicular force.

The other states friction is independent of the contact area. That is, the friction is the same whether the brick is on its large face, the smaller side or the small end. Hope this is accurate.

  1. When an object is moving, the friction is proportional and perpendicular to the normal force (N)
  2. Friction is independent of the area of contact so long as there is an area of contact.
  3. The coefficient of static friction is slightly greater than the coefficient of kinetic friction.
  4. Within rather large limits, kinetic friction is independent of velocity.
  5. Friction depends upon the nature of the surfaces in contact.

How does friction affect the law of inertia?

Friction has no effect whatsoever on the law. But if friction is present, then the law can't be demonstrated, because the moving object always has an external force acting on it.

How does a plastic comb and dry hair produce electricity?

When you rub a plastic comb against dry hair, friction causes electrons to transfer from the hair to the comb, giving the comb a negative charge and the hair a positive charge. This separation of charges creates static electricity.
