Friction is caused when two surfaces come into contact with one another.
The irregularities on the surfaces rub against one another and friction results.
Friction opposes motion. That is to say, friction acts in the direction opposite to 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.
No. Assuming there are no eddies or crosscurrents, and it is not blown in a different direction by the wind, a leaf in a stream is being moved by the water, and would display little motion with respect to the water, as compared to its motion with respect to things not in the flowing stream.
The direction of friction is always opposite to the direction of relative motion of two bodies in contact.For example :in rolling motion of sphere the relative motion of the sphere (at the point of contact between sphere and ground)with respect ground is backwards, and hence friction acts in forward direction ,there by causing motion .
rolling motion occurs when a round surface (cylinder, wheel, ball) is rotating as it moves in a given direction across a surfaceslipping motion occurs when a round surface (cylinder, wheel, ball) is not rotating but sliding as it moves in a given direction across a surface
A force acting on the ball, at an angle to its line of motion, will cause its direction of motion to change.
The sliding friction acts in the opposite direction of motion.

The "force" of friction is always exactly opposite the direction of motion.

Rolling motion is easier than sliding motion because rolling motion has a lower friction force exerted upon the object than sliding motion.
== == 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.

The direction of friction on the crate is opposite to the direction in which it is sliding. In this case, since you are pushing the crate to the right, the friction will act to the left in order to oppose the motion.
Friction will always act in the direction opposite of the relativistic motion of two objects. If object A is moving to the right on object B, then object A will experience the friction to the left. However, object B will be moving to the left on object A and will therefore experience the friction acting towards the right.
As you push a cereal box across a tabletop, the sliding friction acting on the cereal box acts in the direction opposite of motion.
