You want to push a table 5 feet across the floor. How would a decrease in the resistance caused by friction change the amount of force needed to move an object?

ANSWER:

Friction and force applied on an object are inversely related to each other.

Explanation:

We know that friction is the force that resists the motion of an object colliding or sliding against each other, which means that if friction increases, more energy is needed for the motion of the object.

Instead, if friction decreases, less force is needed, so we can conclude that friction and force are inversely related to each other.
