Friction inhibits the motion of objects.
Friction is the force that always opposes motion. It occurs when two objects rub against each other, slowing down their movement.
Friction provides a retarding force. It always acts in the exact opposite direction of the motion of the object.
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.
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 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.
It resists the motion (slows it down)

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