Answer:

hope this is helpful!

NO

Step-by-step explanation:

Because friction only occurs in the opposite direction of a moving object. When an object is placed on the floor, it's weight is opposed by an upward force from the floor. Physics explains that, frictional force is achieved in the opposite direction of a moving object. Therefore, there is no friction if you put an object on the floor and don't move it.
