In physics, a force is any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity (which includes to begin moving from a state of rest), i.e., to accelerate.

Friction is responsible for many types of motion;

• It helps us walk on the ground.
• Brakes in a car make use of friction to stop the car.
• Asteroids are burnt in the atmosphere before reaching Earth due to friction.
• It helps in the generation of heat when we rub our hands.

Answer 2

Friction is a force between two surfaces that are sliding, or trying to slide, across each other. ... Friction always works in the direction opposite to the direction in which the object is moving, or trying to move. Friction always slows a moving object down.
