Friction:

1. Friction is the resistive force which

Prohibits/opposes the movement of

One object while rubbing on the

Surface of another object.

2. The magnitude of this force does not

Depend directly on the masses of the

Body in a mutual movement.

3. Its magnitude depends on other

Forces acting on either of the bodies

Or both of them in such a way that

The net external force tries to move

One of the body closer to the other

Body (frictional force increases in

This case) or tries to pull it farther


From the latter (frictional force

Decreases in this case).

WHILE..

Gravity:

1. Gravity is the force of attraction

Applied on a body (no difference if

The body is a living organism or an

Unanimated body) by the earth to

Pull it closer.

2. Its magnitude is decided based upon

The mass of the earth and the mass of

The body being pulled.

3. Its value does not change if a net

External (other) force is acting on the


Body in question. Its value depends

Only on the mass of the earth, the

Mass of the body being pulled

Towards the earth and the distance

Between the respective centres of

Gravity of) the two.
