What is the effect on friction on moving objects?

It resists the motion (slows it down)


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.


What forces always opposes motion?

Friction is the force that always opposes motion. It occurs when two objects rub against each other, slowing down their movement.


What does friction do to the motion of object?

Friction slows down the motion of objects.


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.


Which force needs to touch something to have an effect?

The force of friction needs to touch an object to have an effect. Friction occurs when two surfaces are in contact and one surface resists the motion of the other surface. It is this resistance that allows friction to have an effect on objects in contact.


What effect does friction and gravity have on an object?

One effect of friction on an object is the ability to make an object stop when moving such as a car's tires on the road at a stop sign. One effect of gravity is the falling of objects to Earth.


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.


What friction opposes the motion of sliding objects?

The force that opposes objects already in motion is Kinetic Friction.Static Friction prevents objects from starting to move when originally at rest.


What is a common unbalanced force acting on objects in motion?

Friction


Is the earth when a body is in motion there is always friction to the opposite motion?

Friction.
