friction causes the object in motion to slow down and finally stop. The natural condition of an object that is in motion is to stay in motion. Only friction (the object in contact with another object at rest) will cause the object in motion to lose its motion.

The increase of dissolved materials in oceans is the result of?
The increase of dissolved materials in the ocean is as a result of constant washing of solid particles from rivers into the ocean. Metals such as lead make it from industries into the ocean due to river pollution.
What do animals use friction for?
Friction is a very helpful thing and with out it you couldn't move, speed up, slow down, change direction, bend, or twist. Without friction nothing would ever happen. Friction can oppose motion or it can make it difficult for an object to move across a surface. Friction both helps an hinders every thing we do.the object would not move without frictionThe friction acts in the opposite direction to that of direction of motion.So friction slows the object and if no external force is applied the object will come to stop.Friction is a force that opposes the direction of motion between two materials. It is parallel to the surface your object is touching. Friction depends on the coefficient of friction and the normal force (force exerted perpendicular to the surface your object is on; opposes gravity on a flat surface). There are two kinds of friction: static and kinetic. Static friction must be overcome in order to move an object. Once the object is in motion the friction acting on it is called kinetic. Static friction has a threshold of force that is needed to get the object moving but once the object is in motion it can be moved at a constant velocity with less force required.

What is the name of the force that slows a boat down?
Generally, friction will slow kinetic motion in water and air alike.Gravity will always tend to pull things down, thus slowing upward motion.Generally, friction will slow kinetic motion in water and air alike.fluid friction
What covers the body of bony fish and reduce friction when swimming?
These types of fish alway use MUCUS to cover their body, and to help reduce friction.
When the block of mass is increased is there an increase in the value of coefficient of kinetic friction?
No, coefficient of friction is dependent on the materials in contact, not their mass. However the FORCE of friction will increase as the mass increases in this case.
What materials can prevent friction and which one can increase it?
high friction materials can prevent sliding under high loads or steeps incline.insome situations,adding a libricant actually increases the friction, due to molecular effect.
How can you reduce and increase friction?
Lubrication to reduce friction. To increase friction step on the brakes.
How can increase friction on a moving object?
by slaiding friction increase
Why do materials have different coefficient of friction?
Different materials have different coefficients of friction because the materials have different microscopic bumps and valleys which cause the friction to begin with. Coefficients of friction are constant for each material.
How to increase friction?
We can increase friction by making the surfaces of the object rough. We can also increase friction by pressing the two objects more strongly.
What are the causes of sliding friction?
For example the cause of sliding friction of two materials is when the stress between the Materials is not equal to zero
What friction do to materials?
Friction can damage materials,slice,and make things move because when you touch, rub or move these things we create friction.
What types of materials can cause friction?
Any type of material has friction because everything has microscopic hills and valleys; some materials have more friction because the materials hills and valleys are larger than other materials.
Does sand reduce friction?
No, sand does not reduce friction but increase friction.
What has the most friction and why?
rough materials can generate a lot of friction
What are substances that change sliding friction to fluid friction?
The materials that, in general, change sliding friction to fluid friction are called lubricants. This class of materials includes oil, grease and the like.
