Friction ask in the opposite direction of?

Frictional force must always act in opposite directions


How does the direction of frictional force compare to the direction of an object motion?

The direction of the force of friction is such that it opposes the direction of motion that an object would move if there were no frictional force acting on the object.


How many plus and minus are there in frictional force?

Only one minus: the frictional force acts in the direction opposite to that of motion.


What is the frictional force if you don't have the coefficient of friction but know that a downward force of 60 N at 10 degrees below the horizontal keeps the object moving at a constant speed?

If the speed is constant the frictional force must be equal to the propelling force (which is gravity in this case) as any imbalance of forces creates an acceleration. If the 60N is in the same direction as the movement, then the frictional force is also 60N. If 60N is the gravitational force, you'll have to use the angle to calculate the propelling force that acts in the direction of movement. Again, the frictional force will be exactly the same as the propelling force in the direction of movement (only in magnitude, though - the direction of the frictional force (the vector) will be in the opposite direction).


Which forces are working when car moving in forward direction?

Frictional Force


What is the equation for frictional force?

F = Ma but the acceleration will be in the opposite direction to that of the object's on which friction force is experienced.


What is the direction of the force of friction on wheel of bicycle?

the direction of force of friction provided from earth is in its opposite direction.i.e the wheel and frictional force are both opposite to each other


An applied force and a frictional force act on an object The object accelerates in the direction of the applied force Which of the following describe how the frictional force compares to the applied?

We're forced to go out on a limb here and propose an answer without benefit ofthe "following" list of choices, since, apparently, the question was automaticallytruncated and the choices were lost. It's a shame you went to all that trouble tocopy the choices along with the question, only to see them deleted by some nasty 'bot'.Since the object accelerates in the direction of the applied force, the net force on it ...equal to the vector sum of the applied force and the friction force ... must point inthe direction of the applied force, and so the frictional force must be less than theapplied force.


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.


Which dtrection does frictional force acts always?

It always acts opposite to the direction of friction
