It provides static friction, so the object cannot move until the static friction is overcome. For example, if the object at rest had 5N static friction, it would take 5.1N to make the object start moving.

What do you mean by nullifying friction?

To nullify means to eradicate or end something. Friction is a type of force. To nullify friction you would need to reduce the source that is causing the friction in the first place. Eg. If you have a rolling object there is friction. The faster the object the more intense the friction. Therefore if you stop or slow down the object you nullify the frictional force.


Which type of friction is usually greater static friction or kinetic friction?
