The type of friction that must be overcome to start something moving is static friction. This friction exists between the surfaces of the object that is stationary and another object it is resting on. Once the force applied overcomes static friction, the object will begin to move.

Of the two forms of friction you studied friction is the one that must be overcome in order to start something moving?

static


Is kinetic friction the one that must be overcome in order to start something moving?

No, static friction is the force that must be overcome to start an object moving from rest. Kinetic friction comes into play once the object is already in motion, opposing its movement.


What friction that prevents an object from moving when force is applied?

Static friction is the friction that prevents an object from moving when a force is applied. It occurs between stationary surfaces and must be overcome by an applied force in order for the object to start moving.


What is friction and what is meant by maximum friction?

Friction is a force that opposes motion. Maximum friction is the?æ force that must be overcome in order for a body to start moving.?æ Maximum friction is equal to the?æ product of normal force and coefficient of the friction.


What is the strongest type of friction?

There are four types of friction: Fluid Friction (The friction caused by falling through air or water, or any other liquid etc), rolling friction (Like a ball rolling across the floor), static friction (The force it takes to begin something's movement), and sliding friction(Like pushing a box across the floor). In order of strongest to weakest it's Static, Sliding, Rolling, Fluid.


When a car's tire are stuck in the snow or mud is it better to have more or less friction?

More friction, you need friction in order to get out. Place something in front or behind the tire in order to get out, even a cloth towel will help.


Static friction is the force that must be overcome in order to start something moving?

that is true


What is required to get a stationary object moving?

An outside force is needed. If friction comes into play (which it likely will), the magnitude of the applied force must be greater than the force of friction acting upon the object in order for the object to move. FYI, the force of friction is equal to the coefficient of static friction times the normal force (equal to the weight of the object).


What is over taking?

going by something that is moving in order to get in front of it


What is the difference between sliding and rolling and kinetic and static friction?

Sliding friction is the friction between the body and the surface on which the body is sliding. Static friction however, is the friction when the body isn't moving when you aply force to it. The force of static friction is the same as the force you are pushing the body UNTIL it moves!..It's a fact that the static friction coefficient is a bit bigger than the sliding friction coefficient.


What does it mean to say that friction resists force?

friction is when two objects or air rubs together and creates heat which the slows the two objects down. its like carpet burn your trousers rub against the carpet it slows you down and hurts!


How does oil make your car move?

oil does not make your car move, it reduces friction in the moving parts in order to keep your car from tearing itself apart
