Friction is a force that can resist motion by acting in the opposite direction to the direction of movement. Other forces, such as air resistance and electromagnetic forces, can also resist motion by exerting a force against the direction of motion.
hill, drop, fall Think of any five different things (car, train, runner, fly, bird) slowing down as they continue traveling forwards. The direction of motion is shown by the velocity vector. The acceleration in each case is in the opposite direction.
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.
A push or pull against motion can slow down, stop, or change the direction of an object's motion, depending on the strength and direction of the force applied. This can be achieved through friction, gravity, or other external forces acting on the object.
against motion For example, if I push a box to the left, kinetic friction is going to the left.

A force in the opposite direction to the motion of an object causes deceleration or slowing down of the object. This force acts against the initial motion, reducing the speed or changing the direction of the object.
The ball experiences greater air resistance when it is going faster due to increased drag force. This is because at higher speeds, there is more air flowing past the ball, leading to a larger resistance force acting in the opposite direction of its motion.
Friction's direction is always against the direction work is being applied to.
The surface of an object affects the aerodynamic drag: a force which acts against the 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.
