if in gravity environment it points opposite to the direction it wants to move. That is the force is uphill, parallel to the inclined surface. due to applied force. Under an applied force, again, it points opposite to the direction it wants to move

Can a liquid experience friction?
As liquid flows on an inclined surface there will be frictional force between the bottom most layer and the surface of inclined plane. More over there will be a friction between the successive layer of the liquid. This is termed as viscous force.
How inclined plane and rough surface reduce friction?
An inclined plane reduces friction when kinetic energy is present. If the object is in motion down the ramp, then there would be gravity assisting it downwards. The normal force would decrease, as well as the friction. For rough surfaces there usually is more friction than smooth surfaces. For instance, if a car travels on an unpaved road, it travels slower due to friction. Compare that to a paved road and the car moves a lot faster.
How surface influences the amount of friction there is?
The larger the contact surface, the more friction. The more uneven the surface, the more friction. The material of the surface has also an effect on friction.
How does surface area affect friction?
more rough surface more friction object have
Which surface gives the least friction?
Plane surface with negligible friction.

Determining coefficient of static friction using an inclined surface?
co -efficient of friction is equal to tan inverse of the inclination
Is any flat surface an inclined plane?
No. A flat surface which is horizontal is not an inclined plane.

What is a inclined plane and example?
An example of an inclined plane is a ramp, slanted road, or a slide. An inclined plane is a surface that is at an angle against a horizontal surface.
What is surface friction is?
Surface friction ALWAYS point parallel to the surface and opposite motion. There must be a normal force for there to be friction
How does surface area affect friction?
more rough surface more friction object have
Which surface gives the least friction?
Plane surface with negligible friction.
What is a drawing of earth on a flat surface?
It is a drawing of the earth on a flat surface
A block accelerates at 3.2 down a plane inclined at an angle 30 degrees. Acceleration of gravity is 9.8. Whats the coefficient of static friction between the block and the inclined plane?
Static friction does not apply when the block is already moving. Without friction, the force on the block parallel to the surface of the incline is Fg*sin(angle), so the acceleration without friction is 9.8* sin(30) = 9.8 * (1/2) = 4.9 Since it is accelerating at 3.2, friction is slowing down the block by (4.9-3.2 = 1.7). The coefficient of kinetic friction is (1.7/4.9) = 0.346939
