Question

What type of forces is acting on an object that prevents the object from moving?

Answer 1

Answer:

The force which opposes motion is called friction. Friction forces always act in the opposite direction to the motion of the object. Friction resists movement when the object and surface are in contact.

Answer 2

The type of force acting on an object that prevents the object from moving is frictional force.

• Frictional force always opposes the flow of motion. In other words, it creates resistance to the motion.
• Frictional forces depend upon the nature of the surface in contact.
• Frictional force always tries to act in the opposite direction of motion.
• The frictional force also depends upon the mass of the object.
• In some cases, frictional force becomes necessary as it enables to walk properly and help in wearing the tearing of machines.
