Does Friction act in the direction of motion?

No.


In what way does friction always act?

And it not only DOES; it works in no other way. Friction is a sneaky thing. You know how a thermos "knows" to keep the hot stuff hot and the cold stuff cold? Well, friction always knows in which direction you're trying to go and pushes against you!


When you are in an aeroplane does lift act in the opposite direction to friction?

Lift does not act opposite to friction. Lift opposes weight and friction(air resistance) opposes thrust from the engine. This is all equally true whether or not you happen to be aboard the aircraft.


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.


In which direction does static friction act on an object when it is at rest?

Static friction acts in the opposite direction of the force trying to move the object.


What does the dierection of friction always act?

it acts in the opposite direction of motion or force


What direction does friction act to the motion of objects?

slow down


What are principles of friction?

there is nothing called as principle of friction. friction is just a force which will act in the opposite direction of which you apply force.


If you push on a heavy crate to the right and it slides what is the direction of friction on the crate?

The direction of friction on the crate is opposite to the direction in which it is sliding. In this case, since you are pushing the crate to the right, the friction will act to the left in order to oppose the motion.


What type of friction prevents motion?

All types of friction act opposite to the direction of motion but static friction is the friction present before motion occurs.


What is the cause of frictionand in what direction does it act with respect to the motion of sliding object?

Friction is caused when two surfaces come into contact with one another. The irregularities on the surfaces rub against one another and friction results. Friction opposes motion. That is to say, friction acts in the direction opposite to motion.


What is the Direction of Friction in Rotating Object in clockwise direction?

The direction of friction on a rotating object in a clockwise direction depends on the point of contact. Friction opposes the relative motion between the object and the surface it is in contact with, so the direction of friction will act in the direction opposite to the slipping or sliding motion at that contact point.
