Which of the following explains the difference between a force caused by gravity and a force caused by friction?

A

Gravity is a force that resists a change in motion and friction is a force of opposing motion.

B

Gravity is a force of attraction and friction is a force that resists a change in motion.

C

Gravity is a force of attraction and friction is a force of opposing motion.

D

Gravity is a force of opposing motion and friction is a force of attraction

Gravity is a force of attraction and friction is a force of opposing motion.

Explanation:

When an object is subjected to a push or a pull then it is called as force. The Newton is the unit of force and when all the forces that are acting on an object is integrated it gives to the Net force. When two objects contacts each other there exits friction. It is the force that is responsible in opposing the motion of the objects as they contact each other.

The force that is attractive and results in pulling of the objects is Gravity. The attraction that exists between two objects is because of the mass. The acceleration that is being induced in an object that is in movement with the gravitational force is called as acceleration due to gravity.
