The frictional force on a sliding body on a plane will be acting parallel to the plane against the motion of the body. But the magnitude of the (kinetic) friction
force is proportional to the weight component normal to the plane. The weight
component parallel to the plane is the force that tends to slide the body down
the inclined plane.
When the sliding body has acquire steady velocity, the friction force is equal to
the body's sliding force.

When solid surfaces slide over each other the kind of friction that occurs is called sliding friction.?
true! When solid surfaces slide over each other, the kind of friction that occurs is called sliding friction.
Which dtrection does frictional force acts always?
It always acts opposite to the direction of friction
What is the difference between static friction and sliding friction?
Sliding friction is always less than the static friction by small amount.
What is static friction in sliding friction?
the static friction in sliding friction is different......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................lol
What is the difference between drag and friction?
Friction is an action, frictional force is a force. Typically the static or kinetic friction of an object causes a frictional force when there is an attempt at moving the object, the frictional force is always opposite to the applied force, as it is the force you must overcome to move the object.

What solid surfaces slide over each other the kind of friction that occurs is called friction?
When two objects are moving relative to one another while rubbing together, the frictional force between them is called kinetic friction. On a force diagram, the frictional force always points opposite the direction of motion between the objects, resisting the movement. Kinetic friction (Fk) can be described using the equation: Fk = μn Otherwise known as "sliding friction"

Which is easier to stop sliding or rolling friction?
== == AnswersIt is easier to stop sliding friction than rolling friction. The force due to sliding friction will always be greater than the force due to rolling friction. And since friction force will be in the opposite direction of motion it will be easier to stop an object in motion that is sliding than one that is rolling.
What kind of friction requires more force to overcome rollingfriction or sliding friction?
Coefficient of rolling friction will always be less than that of sliding friction. Hence more force is required to overcome sliding friction. Because the force = coefficient of friction x normal force (ie weight of the body)
Friction ask in the opposite direction of?
Frictional force must always act in opposite directions
What is the direction of friction forces?
opposing the motion
Friction is a force that always acts?
Friction is a force that always acts opposite to sliding or rolling of one solid object over another.
Will friction resist motion of an object on rough surfaces?
Friction always resist motion if the object is sliding on surface.
