What is the opposite force to Friction?

Answer 1

Well, there are several ways to go about answering this.

Inertia is the property of an object at rest resisting motion.

First: Pmomentum is the property of an object in motion to resist change in that motion.

Second: Potential Energy is the property of an object at rest to begin moving, it typically results from height.

Third: Kinetic Energy is the property of an object in motion to keep moving. [here both of our categories are opposite of inertia] This is likely the best bet.

Any of these are good options if your answer is limited to the field of Fizex. (Then again, Quantum physics is fairly different from inertia too.)

Finally: If your answer isn't related to Fizex, Waffles, Historical figures, language, and philosophy are very different from Inertial.

Answer 2

The opposite force to friction is called applied force or thrust. This force is responsible for overcoming the resistance that friction creates between two surfaces in contact.

Answer 3

A synonym is momentum, but usually only for moving objects.

Answer 4

Immobile is the opposite of motion. Motionless is also the opposite of motion. When something is motionless, it doesn't have energy moving it.

Answer 5

Inertia.

Since momentum is directional, the opposite of momentum is an opposed momentum, going in the opposite direction.

Answer 6

Friction is the force that is always in opposition to motion. However any force that tends to slow or stop motion, is oppositional to it.

Answer 7

Lubricity
