Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
Friction is a force that resists the motion of the object which is moving on a particular surface. It is a contact force. The friction will only produce when the two surfaces are in contact with each other if there is no contact, there is no frictional force. For example, in static friction when a force is applied to any object, then it is the frictional force that opposes it, keeping the object at rest until static friction is removed. Kinetic friction is the frictional force that opposes the motion of an object.
The correct statement would be that the frictional force is a contact force.
