Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The force that prevents motion when the surfaces of two objects come into contact is known as friction. For example, bicycle riding causes friction between the road and the wheel since they are in close contact. We can ride a bicycle because of the frictional force.
Factors which affect the force of friction:

● The texture of the surface and the amount of force urging them together.

● The force of friction depends upOn the angle and position of the object.

● If an object is flat against an object, the frictional force will equal the object's weight.

● If an object is pushed against the surface, then the frictional force will increase and become more than the object's weight.
