And it not only DOES; it works in no other way. Friction is a sneaky thing. You know how a thermos "knows" to keep the hot stuff hot and the cold stuff cold? Well, friction always knows in which direction you're trying to go and pushes against you!

What does friction always act in?

Friction always acts in the opposite direction to that of the motion of the other object. Meaning, friction slows down the motion of an object by exerting opposing forces on it.

Frictional force must always act in opposite directions


What does the dierection of friction always act?

Friction always acts in a direction?

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.


Is it true that rolling friction always reduces the net force acting aginstan objects's motion to zero?

Friction can be reduced, but in most cases there is no practical way to reduce friction to zero.


Which two forces always do negative work?

Frictional force and tension in a string always do negative work because they act opposite to the direction of displacement of the object on which they act. This results in a loss of mechanical energy.


Does friction act in the same way an object wants to slide?

Yes, friction acts in the opposite direction that an object wants to slide. It opposes the relative motion between the surfaces.


Is the limiting friction is always less then rolling friction?

Does Friction act in the direction of motion?

No.


Which direction does friction always work?

Friction's direction is always against the direction work is being applied to.


Who is creator kinetic friction or limiting friction?

Not God.. Friction was always there, that's why planets exist.
