How does the surface of an object affect its motion?
The surface of an object affects the aerodynamic drag: a force which acts against the direction of motion.
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.
In what direction is the force of friction exerted?
Friction acts in the opposite direction of the object's motion
Explain how frictional force is used to reduce the speed of a moving object?
Friction is a force that always acts in a direction opposite to that of motion. So the frictional force does negative work on the velocity of an object ( thus reducing the speed of an object).
What is newtons first law of motion summarized?
"an object at rest will stay at rest, unless moved by a(n) outside force(net force). an object in motion will stay in motion, unless stopped by an outside force or friction.

The surface of an object affects the aerodynamic drag: a force which acts against the direction of motion.
How does the surface of an object affect its motion?
The surface of an object affects the aerodynamic drag: a force which acts against the direction of motion.
The force that opposes the motion of an object moving on a surface?
Friction.
Does a force always change an objects motion?
it usually does, but if the force is balanced, it will not change the object's motion
What is a force that always opposes the motion of an object?
Friction .
What always causes a change in motion of the object?
An applied force will change the motion of an object. Such as a thrust, or an impact.
Do all forces always cause motion?
-- First of all, motion doesn't require any force.-- If the forces on an object are unbalanced, then the object's motion changes. Always.-- If the forces on an object are balanced, then the object's motion doesn't change.
Is the change in motion a object always caused by a force?
yes
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.
What force resists motion when the surface of one object moves against another?
Friction.
Is friction a contact or non contact force?
friction is a contact force
Why does force always oppose motion?
because of the inertia of the object as stated by Newton's first law of motion.
