Friction is what takes energy away from motion. If there was no friction, it would take a lot less energy (gas, fuel, electricity) to move things.
By definition, friction is opposite of the direction of motion.
When you push a shopping cart, the friction that opposes the motion is called static friction if the cart is stationary or kinetic friction if it's already in motion. Static friction acts to prevent the cart from moving, while kinetic friction acts against the motion once it starts rolling. Both types of friction arise from the interactions between the cart's wheels and the surface it moves on.
The force of friction is exerted in the direction opposite the direction of motion, between two surfaces that are in contact with each other. It acts to hinder motion and opposes the relative motion between the surfaces.
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.
Because of friction.
All types of friction act opposite to the direction of motion but static friction is the friction present before motion occurs.
Static friction is the type of friction that opposes the motion.
Friction slows down the motion of objects.

mechanical by friction or by motion of a conductor
Friction is the sum of resistance to motion and as for resistance, it slow down the motion.
By definition, friction is opposite of the direction of motion.
Friction is the force that resists motion when two surfaces are in contact with each other. It opposes the relative motion or tendency of such motion between the surfaces.
Different forms of friction, such as static, kinetic, and rolling friction, all involve resistance to motion when two surfaces are in contact. They are caused by microscopic irregularities on the surfaces that interact and oppose relative motion. In all cases, friction converts mechanical energy into heat.
No. Friction is just necessary for controlling motion.
Motion can stop friction in situations where the object comes to a complete stop or when an opposing force counteracts the motion. Friction occurs when two surfaces rub against each other, so if there is no relative motion between the surfaces, there will be no friction.
Two forces that affect nearly all motion are gravity, which pulls objects towards the Earth's center, and friction, which opposes the motion of objects moving against a surface.
