Friction acts in a direction of what to the direction of an objects motion?
Friction provides a retarding force. It always acts in the exact opposite direction of the motion of the object.
What does a force in the opposite direction to the motion cause?
A force applied to a moving object in the opposite direction of its motion causes its velocity to decrease.
If force moving an object points at least partially in the opposite direction if the objects motion the work is considered to be?
negative
A force acting on an object does no work if?
the force is not in the direction of the objects motion.
What is a force that causes an object to change its motion?
I think this question is not phrased very well. Any force can change objects velocity (speed+direction). If fact that is the definition of the force - F=ma any force, by definition itself, can change objects velocity. Maybe you meant what force can change objects direction of motion? In that case - any force that has a different direction (not the same as direction of motion) Any force can change an object's motion.
How the direction of the force of kinetic friction is related to the direction of an of an objects motion?
Friction always acts opposite to the direction of motion.
How does the direction of the force of kinetic friction is related to the direction of of an objects motion?
Friction always acts opposite to the direction of motion.
What direction of friction acts in a direction to the direction of the objects motion?
Friction provides a retarding force. It always acts in the exact opposite direction of the motion of the object.
Friction acts in a direction of what to the direction of an objects motion?
Friction provides a retarding force. It always acts in the exact opposite direction of the motion of the object.
What acts against the direction of th objects motion?
Any force acting in the direction opposite to motion, such as Friction, wind resistance, or swimming up stream
How are the direction of an objects motion and the direction that friction acts related?
Friction always acts in a direction opposite to the direction of motion. When to push or pull an object, friction manifests in a direction opposite to motion and the frictional force is dependent on the characteristics of the surfaces. When the push or pull force is slowly increased, at a certain point the frictional force is overcome and the object starts moving.
Can equal forces in opposite direction change an objects motion?
If the force is acting in the opposite direction to the movement, the object will slow down and then accelerate in the direction of the force. Negative for
What does a force in the opposite direction to the motion cause?
A force applied to a moving object in the opposite direction of its motion causes its velocity to decrease.
How does fricction effect the movement of object?
It provides a force in the direction opposite to the objects motion thus slowing it down.
If force moving an object points at least partially in the opposite direction if the objects motion the work is considered to be?
negative
How does the direction of friction compare to the direct motion?
The direction of the force of friction is opposite of the direction of the motion.
How does the direction of the force of friction compare with direction of the motion of a vehicle?
It is in most cases opposite to the direction of motion.
