What direction does the frictional force always act?
Frictional force always acts opposite to the direction of motion or the impending motion of an object, parallel to the surface in contact.
How does the direction of friction relate to the direction of motion?
The direction of frictional force between two surfaces is always opposite to the direction of motion. Friction opposes the relative motion or attempts to prevent the sliding of two surfaces past each other. If an object is moving to the right, the frictional force will act to the left.
Describe the size and direction of the frictional forces when a car stops on a flat road?
When a car stops on a flat road, the frictional force acting on the car is static friction and its direction is opposite to the direction of motion. The magnitude of the static frictional force is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force applied by the car's brakes to bring it to a stop.
An applied force and a frictional force act on an object The object accelerates in the direction of the applied force Which of the following describe how the frictional force compares to the applied?
We're forced to go out on a limb here and propose an answer without benefit ofthe "following" list of choices, since, apparently, the question was automaticallytruncated and the choices were lost. It's a shame you went to all that trouble tocopy the choices along with the question, only to see them deleted by some nasty 'bot'.Since the object accelerates in the direction of the applied force, the net force on it ...equal to the vector sum of the applied force and the friction force ... must point inthe direction of the applied force, and so the frictional force must be less than theapplied force.
What is the equation for frictional force?
F = Ma but the acceleration will be in the opposite direction to that of the object's on which friction force is experienced.
What direction does the frictional force always act?
Frictional force always acts opposite to the direction of motion or the impending motion of an object, parallel to the surface in contact.
Friction ask in the opposite direction of?
Frictional force must always act in opposite directions
How does the direction of frictional force compare to the direction of an object motion?
The direction of the force of friction is such that it opposes the direction of motion that an object would move if there were no frictional force acting on the object.
How does the direction of friction relate to the direction of motion?
The direction of frictional force between two surfaces is always opposite to the direction of motion. Friction opposes the relative motion or attempts to prevent the sliding of two surfaces past each other. If an object is moving to the right, the frictional force will act to the left.
How many plus and minus are there in frictional force?
Only one minus: the frictional force acts in the direction opposite to that of motion.
Describe the size and direction of the frictional forces when a car stops on a flat road?
When a car stops on a flat road, the frictional force acting on the car is static friction and its direction is opposite to the direction of motion. The magnitude of the static frictional force is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force applied by the car's brakes to bring it to a stop.
What is the frictional force if you don't have the coefficient of friction but know that a downward force of 60 N at 10 degrees below the horizontal keeps the object moving at a constant speed?
If the speed is constant the frictional force must be equal to the propelling force (which is gravity in this case) as any imbalance of forces creates an acceleration. If the 60N is in the same direction as the movement, then the frictional force is also 60N. If 60N is the gravitational force, you'll have to use the angle to calculate the propelling force that acts in the direction of movement. Again, the frictional force will be exactly the same as the propelling force in the direction of movement (only in magnitude, though - the direction of the frictional force (the vector) will be in the opposite direction).

What is the equation for frictional force?
F = Ma but the acceleration will be in the opposite direction to that of the object's on which friction force is experienced.
What is the sign of the work done by the frictional force?
The work done by the frictional force is negative because the force opposes the direction of motion. This means that the frictional force removes mechanical energy from the system by transforming it into heat, resulting in a decrease in the object's kinetic energy.
When a man walks towards east the frictional force is applied in?
When a man walks towards the east, the frictional force is applied in the opposite direction of his motion, which is towards the west. This frictional force acts to oppose the motion of the man and helps to keep him from slipping.
Which dtrection does frictional force acts always?
It always acts opposite to the direction of friction
