Answer:

False. Friction does not enhance movement.

Friction is the force that is generated when two objects "rub" on each other.

For example, it's hard to push an object on a rug, but it's easier to push an object on hardwood floor. This is because the rug creates more friction when the object rubs against it, thus slowing it down.

So, the statement is false.

Hope this helps.
