The direction of the friction force is always opposed to the movement. If I push my desk to the north, the friction force will be to the south - and if I don't push hard enough, it won't budge.
By definition, friction is opposite of the direction of motion.
The direction of friction is opposite to the direction of motion. This means that when an object is moving in one direction, the friction force is acting in the opposite direction, trying to slow down or stop the object.
Friction's direction is always against the direction work is being applied to.
Friction's direction is always against the direction work is being applied to.
The direction of friction of a rolling body is in opposite direction to the motion of the rolling body.
The "force" of friction is always exactly opposite the direction of motion.
Friction always acts opposite to the direction of 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.
Friction provides a retarding force. It always acts in the exact opposite direction of the motion of the object.
Friction always acts in the opposite direction, of the other object's motion.
it acts in the opposite direction of motion or force
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.
