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.
What is impending motion?
I'm pretty sure it means the motion or movement that is going to happen. So, if you apply force in a direction to a box, the impending motion will be sliding or tipping in the direction of force depending on certain coefficients of friction.

How does force affect the motion and speed of an object?
As Newton's laws state, the greater the force, the more an object will accelerate or slow down. The force in the opposite direction of motion is called friction. So if you have a 3Kg block travelling at 2m/s, with a friction of 1m/s you will need at least 5N to keep it going. The more force you apply, the faster the block will travel, so it accelerates. The less force you apply the more it slows down and eventually stops because the friction is greater than the force applied. An object that travels in a uniform direction at a uniform speed (Newtons 1st law) will continue traveling in the same way and in the same direction (inertia) unless acted upon by a resultant force (friction).
Explain how friction affects the motion of an object?
Friction is speed's worst enemy. If no forces act on an object, it is stationary. If a force acts on an object, it keeps going forever until another force acts on it (such as friction!!!).
The direction of kinetic friction is always?
against motion For example, if I push a box to the left, kinetic friction is going to the left.
How do you find the net force when the forces are going in the same direction?
You add them together. If there is no other force in the opposite direction it is also recognized as zero.
What 2 factors affect friction?
the smoothness othe surface the object is acting on, and direction its going in

When a force changes direction an object is going is what energy?
aerodynamics
When force and motion are going in the same direction is work being done?
When force is opposite to the direction of motion, no work is done. The object to which the force is applied must move in the direction of the force in order for work to be done.
What force stops motion?
An immovable concrete wall works pretty good for me.Theoretically it is said that Zero Kelvin (absolute zero) is the temperature at which no movement of particles/molecules is possible. Zero Kelvin in Celsius is -273.15 degrees. In Fahrenheit it is -459.67 degrees.
