Question

Friction is a force that acts in an ___________ direction of movement. A. similar B. opposite

Answer 1

Answer:

opposite

Explanation:

Frictional force offers the resistance to the applied force opposing its motion. Thus, it always acts in the direction opposite to that of the object in motion. If force is applied to the left, then friction acts in the right.

Answer 2

Friction is a force that acts in an B.opposite direction of movement.

• Friction is a resistive force and is the reason why it acts in the opposite direction of motion.
• It is the force between two objects that are undergoing some motion between them.
• There are 4 types of friction: static, sliding, rolling and fluid friction.
• The formula for friction is given as: f = uN where u = coefficient of friction and N is the normal force.
