is there any force of friction in the space?

Answer 1

yes but very little. due to the sub attomic particles that exist like photons(due to the stars and other luminants otherwise we wouldnt be able to see beyond our atmosphere). etc
see force of friction is created by two objects (in this case particles) that rub againist each other.
the reason why people think that there isnt any force of friction is because it is soooooooo little that it's effect is not felt thus measurable by current instruments.

they only consider air and larger perticles to be the only cause of friction.

Answer 2

Friction is caused when two objects or substances rub together. As there is no air in space the only friction that could be encountered is coming in contact with some object, otherwise movements would continue until some other force (Like the gravity of an object) acts upon it.

Answer 3

Virtually none, but there is some. Probably the least amount of friction would be found in between galaxies. Where we are (earth) however, on the arm of a galaxy and within an active solar system it is quite crowded in a cosmic sense. Although there is hardly any to measure, it is there. I guess this is why orbits decay. Or is that another question.

Answer 4

According to Albert Einstein, the space is named as "space-time", its a fabric-like "thing" where every object is "situated". Well according to it, if that's true then there can be minor (off course extremely minor) friction in the space because the object "lies" on the fabric called "space-time". But such a topic is not heard anywhere in science magazines or programs that there is any friction OR there is not...

Answer 5

No, there is no force of friction in space. If there were any force of friction in space, then planets, satellites and celestial bodies could not have moved freely , for billions of years, due to inertia.

Answer 6

There's no air, so there's no friction from air, no resistance to
moving around freely. However, other kinds of friction still exist,
like when two things slide against each other, although if you are in
orbit or otherwise feel no acceleration (no gravity) then these things
have no weight and don't press against each other like sliding a box
across a floor here on Earth. Mechanical devices such as motors and
pumps still experience their usual internal friction. (There's no
perpetual motion, even without gravity.)

Answer 7

The force against motion can only be caused by magnetic fields of certain galatic objects. Then you can call it a friction force in the universe

Answer 8

you're puzzling rigidity with Impulse or push. in case you utilized a rigidity for an prompt the position that prompt is infinitesmaly small then it must have 0 result on any mass. Impulse = replace in momentum F * t = m v v = F * t / m so if t ->0 ( ie if the rigidity is utilized for an extremely little while ) then v ->0 ( the replace in speed led to through the rigidity procedures 0 ) yet for the single the position the rigidity replaced into utilized continually for the entire time t which does not mind-set 0 then there's a diverse develop in speed for this reason of the impulse given

Answer 9

Friction occurs when two things are "rubbing" against each other, so in theory yes, there would be so long as there is adequate force to keep the two objects connected.

Answer 10

friction froce occurs between two surfaces . the more rouph one surface is the friction force is. but in space there is only one surface so there is no friction force.
