Friction<span> is an important force because it is a force that </span>affects motion. This force exerted by the surface of an object when another object moves against it is the result of molecular attractions between the objects' surfaces, and works in the direction opposite to the direction of the motion<span>. hope this helps you. </span>

Friction is a force. A resistance force that tries to slow down and stop objects in motion. The difference between friction and air resistance is that friction acts on surfaces. For example, if I were skateboarding on a rough surface, more friction would occur so I would travel slower. If I were skareboarding on ice, I would go faster because there is much less friction to slow me down. Hope that helps:)

How does friction affect the kinetic energy of an object?
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer: Friction also prevents an object from starting to move, such as a shoe placed on a ramp. When friction acts between two surfaces that are moving over each other, some kinetic energy is transformed into heat energy. Friction can sometimes be useful.
