An example of such a force is friction, but a term for forces that act against motion are decelerative forces.

Newton's Third Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. However, these can be in any direction and may or may not influence an object in motion.

What Is the force that always acts opposite to the direction of the direction of the motion of an object?

The force that always acts opposite to the direction of the motion of an object is friction. Friction is a force that resists the motion between two surfaces in contact with each other. It acts in the direction opposite to the direction of motion, slowing down or stopping the object.


What is the direction of friction forces?

opposing the motion


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 always acts opposite to the direction of motion.


What is the third law of motion all about?

states that for every actrion force ther is always an opposite and an equal reaction force


Does a force always change an objects motion?

Not necessarily. If the force is balanced (equal in opposite directions), it will not change the object's motion. However, an unbalanced force will cause an object to accelerate in the direction of the force.


In which direction does friction act?

Friction always acts in the opposite direction to that of the motion of the other object. Meaning, friction slows down the motion of an object by exerting opposing forces on it.


How does the direction of friction compare with the dierection of the velcocity of a sliding object?

The "force" of friction is always exactly opposite the direction of motion.
