And it not only DOES; it works in no other way. Friction is a sneaky thing. You know how a thermos "knows" to keep the hot stuff hot and the cold stuff cold? Well, friction always knows in which direction you're trying to go and pushes against you!

What can friction do?
Friction acts to inhibit or "decrease" motion. Friction applies to any moving object, and will always act to slow it down or resist a change in its direction of motion.
Friction always acts in a direction?
Friction always acts in the direction opposite to the the motion of the object.For example, if a bowling ball rolls to the right, friction would act to the left.Without friction, if you threw a ball, it would keep going forever. Friction slows objects down.
Can you slide without friction?
Friction will always exist. There is no way for friction not to exist. Even in the dead of space, the occasional hydrogen molecule will bump against you, causing friction.
How does friction affect interia?
Friction does not affect inertia, but it affects momentum. Momentum is the product of the mass of an object and its speed. Friction forces, if present, will always act to decrease the momentum of a moving object.
How does friction act on an object?
friction is a force that retracts on unicorns
What does friction always act in?
Friction always acts in the opposite direction to that of the motion of the other object. Meaning, friction slows down the motion of an object by exerting opposing forces on it.

In which direction does friction act?
Friction always acts in the opposite direction to that of the motion of the other object. Meaning, friction slows down the motion of an object by exerting opposing forces on it.
Friction ask in the opposite direction of?
Frictional force must always act in opposite directions
Can you slide without friction?

What does the dierection of friction always act?
it acts in the opposite direction of motion or force
How does friction affect interia?
Friction does not affect inertia, but it affects momentum. Momentum is the product of the mass of an object and its speed. Friction forces, if present, will always act to decrease the momentum of a moving object.
Is it true that rolling friction always reduces the net force acting aginstan objects's motion to zero?
Friction can be reduced, but in most cases there is no practical way to reduce friction to zero.

What forces always opposes motion?
friction
Is the limiting friction is always less then rolling friction?
no limiting friction is not less than rolling friction
