physics brahs,

what is the frictional force between a glider and an airtrack that holds it still?

im aware that airtrack pretty much remove all friction, but what makes it stand still? is it gravity?

You mean what KEEPS it at rest?

That'd be F = ma, Sir.

Wait, this doesn't really answer it, sorry. The question is

"What is the frictional force between a glider and the surface of an air track that keeps the system stationary?"

Newtons first law, a body at rest stays at rest, when no force is applied.
