When you are running on a road you are act Upon by A frictional force of the road. is there another force acting on you?

Yes. Gravity. Air resistance (friction again).


What are the the types of frictional force acting on us while runnning?

There is friction between the soles of your shoes and the surface you are running on. Air resistance against your body is also a type of friction.


How does the direction of frictional force compare to the direction of an object motion?

The direction of the force of friction is such that it opposes the direction of motion that an object would move if there were no frictional force acting on the object.


What are the two factors that affect the friction force between two?

normal force acting between them and surface roughness or frictional value that is mieu.


Kinetic frictions is the frictional force needed to start an object at rest into motion?

false. Kinetic friction is the friction acting upon a moving object. It would be the frictional force against you if you pulled a box across a table. Static friction is the frictional force needed to overcome to get an object at rest into motion.


What is the Defintion of sliding friction?

Sliding friction is when two objects slide across from one another. An example is sliding a book across a desk. It is also known as Kinetic friction.Sliding friction is friction caused by an object sliding over another surface.


A force that is opposite to the direction of motion?

Inertia is a property of matter that makes it harder to move, so that is probably what you are thinking of, but technically, forces do not oppose motion. Depending upon the direction in which a force is applied, one force can oppose another force that is acting in an opposite direction, but forces are not opposed to motion as such.


How does friction affect newton's third law?

Friction is encompassed by Newton's laws, as opposed to operating out side of it. If a block slides down a wedge, there is friction acting against the block up the slope. From the wedge's perspective, the block produces a frictional force against it, trying to drag it downwards along the slope.


Why is friction greatest when an object is stationary?

Because the frictional force must be greater than forces that would cause the object to move. Example: a car parked on a slope does not move despite the force of gravity acting to pull it down the hill. Why? Because the frictional forces are greater than the forces of gravity.


What is the force acting between any two surfaces moving past one another?

Friction.


Is it true that frictional force on a sliding body on a plane is always directed at the angle of friction to the normal?

The frictional force on a sliding body on a plane will be acting parallel to the plane against the motion of the body. But the magnitude of the (kinetic) friction force is proportional to the weight component normal to the plane. The weight component parallel to the plane is the force that tends to slide the body down the inclined plane. When the sliding body has acquire steady velocity, the friction force is equal to the body's sliding force.


Why does friction never speed up?

Friction always opposes relative motion. It does not oppose motion. Friction is an electric force. It starts acting when two surfaces rub each other. Say a block is pushed and then released, it gets an initial acceleration and its speed starts increasing. Here friction starts playing its part. Friction starts acting on the block in the direction opposite to that of its motion and it also acts on the ground but its effects there are negligible. The friction slowly reduces the acceleration to zero, then at that stage the block has some velocity. Now also friction continues acting backward on it till it comes to rest.Now there is no relative motion or rubbing so no charges appear on the surfaces to provide a frictional force for speeding up the block.
