Question

is frictional force is equal to applied force

Answer 1

hey mate,,,

here's ur answer.....

If friction is equal to the applied force, then the body either at rest or it is in uniform motion, not acceleration.

Yes, the object certainly is moving even-though 'no net, unbalanced' force is acting on it.

That is, acceleration is just the rate of change of velocity..

When an external force (F) is applied to move the body and the body does not move, then the frictional force acts opposite to applied force F and is equal to the applied force .

i.e., F – f =0 frictional force ,f = applied force F. When the body remains at rest, the frictional force is called the static friction.

hope it is helpful.....
