Friction is the resistance to motion (or tendency to such motion) between two bodies or substances in contact.
Friction may either modify motion or entirely prevent it.
Static friction, as the force that keeps you in place while sitting in the chair is static, meaning the objects are not moving relative to each other.
The 8-letter "f" word in science that means force is "friction."
Styrofoam has a low coefficient of friction, meaning it is very smooth and produces little resistance when in contact with other surfaces. This low friction coefficient allows styrofoam to slide easily across surfaces.
Disadvantages of friction include energy loss in the form of heat, wear and tear on surfaces, reduced efficiency in machines, and difficulty in moving objects.
Objects like ice or polished metal have very low friction due to their smooth surfaces. They also have low friction coefficients, meaning they require little force to move across a surface.

Friction always acts in the opposite direction to that of the motion of the other object. Meaning, friction slows down the motion of an object by exerting opposing forces on it.
The more friction, the quicker the vehicle will stop, meaning less stopping distance.
Static friction, as the force that keeps you in place while sitting in the chair is static, meaning the objects are not moving relative to each other.

Tractive force is 'static friction'. Like the friction experienced between your car tyres and the road when accelerating from a stand-still.
Styrofoam has a low coefficient of friction, meaning it is very smooth and produces little resistance when in contact with other surfaces. This low friction coefficient allows styrofoam to slide easily across surfaces.
Static friction. The frictional force is greater then the force applied, meaning the object can't move.
Disadvantages of friction include energy loss in the form of heat, wear and tear on surfaces, reduced efficiency in machines, and difficulty in moving objects.
Objects like ice or polished metal have very low friction due to their smooth surfaces. They also have low friction coefficients, meaning they require little force to move across a surface.
The word 'lube' is an abbreviation of lubrication, or lubricant. A lubricant is a solution which reduces friction.
Lubricate means to oil or grease to provide smooth movement and minimize friction.
