What is direction of motion of a body if a number of force acts on it?

You can't tell, without a lot more information.
-- If the body was at rest when the forces began to act on it, then it'll move
in the direction of the vector sum of the forces, which could be any direction
depending on the forces.
-- If the body was already moving when the forces began to act on it, then its
acceleration will be in the direction of their vector sum, but you'd have to know
everything about its original motion and the forces in order to figure out what
direction the body will move, and when.

What direction of friction acts in a direction to the direction of the objects motion?
Friction provides a retarding force. It always acts in the exact opposite direction of the motion of the object.
Friction acts in a direction of what to the direction of an objects motion?
Friction provides a retarding force. It always acts in the exact opposite direction of the motion of the object.
What does the dierection of friction always act?
it acts in the opposite direction of motion or force
How the direction of the force of kinetic friction is related to the direction of an of an objects motion?
Friction always acts opposite to the direction of motion.
How does the direction of the force of kinetic friction is related to the direction of of an objects motion?
Friction always acts opposite to the direction of motion.
What is the force that always acts opposite to the direction of the motion?
Friction
The law of inertia states?
The Law of Inertia states that the body will preserve its velocity and direction so long as no force in its motion's direction acts on it.
How does force cause motion?
An object is stationary until a force acts on it, then when a force acts on it it will keep going the same direction and speed forever, until another force acts on it.
How are the direction of an objects motion and the direction that friction acts related?
Friction always acts in a direction opposite to the direction of motion. When to push or pull an object, friction manifests in a direction opposite to motion and the frictional force is dependent on the characteristics of the surfaces. When the push or pull force is slowly increased, at a certain point the frictional force is overcome and the object starts moving.
In what direction is the force of friction exerted?
Friction acts in the opposite direction of the object's motion
How can force make an object move change direction or stop?
When the force acts perpendicular to the direction of motion then it makes it to move along curved path When the force is opposite to motion then it could stop it
How can a force make an object move change direction or stop?
When the force acts perpendicular to the direction of motion then it makes it to move along curved path When the force is opposite to motion then it could stop it
