∙ 9y agoAir resistance acts against the direction of motion and increase as objects moves faster. In fluid dynamics, air resistance may be referred to as drag, a type of air friction.

What would happen if friction were to act in the same direction as the motion?
The object would accelerate faster.
What are Example of acceleration which is against direction of motion?
deceleration in a linear motion (braking during driving or an object thrown up while you are standing on on earth) --> the acceleration is pointing at an opposite direction than the motion. ============================
Acceleration is against the direction of motion?
suppose when we apply brakes to a car in motion then the speed of the car decreases which means the acceleration is backwards but the car is still running in the forward direction
Would friction make an object faster?
No, friction is a force which always acts in the direction opposite to that of motion.
What is the example where acceleration is against the direction of motion?
When acceleration is opposite to (against) the direction of motion, the magnitude of the velocity decreases, meaning that the object slows down. An example is the application of the brakes to slow or stop a car. During the time that the pressure remains on the brake pedal, the car's acceleration is negative ... meaning opposite to the direction of motion ... and the car's speed is decreasing.
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 the direction of the force of kinetic friction is related to the direction of an object's motion?
Friction force works against the motion of the object. In other words friction force has the opponent direction of the velocity of the object.
What would happen if friction were to act in the same direction as the motion?
The object would accelerate faster.

In what direction is the force of friction exerted?
Friction acts in the opposite direction of the object's motion
How does the surface affect the motion of an object?
The surface of an object affects the aerodynamic drag: a force which acts against the direction of motion.
Acceleration is against the direction of motion?

What direction does friction act in to an object's 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.
Would friction make an object faster?
No, friction is a force which always acts in the direction opposite to that of motion.
Why do bike stops when breaks are applied?
Because friction is exerted against the direction of motion
How does the surface of an object affect its motion?
