Question

what is the direction of force of friction acting on a moving object
​

Answer 1

✎ 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

Answer:

Force is defined as a push or pull acting on an object. Forces include gravity, friction, and applied force. Force causes changes in the speed or direction of motion. These changes are called acceleration. The frictional force is the other component; it is in a direction parallel to the plane of the interface between objects. Friction always acts to oppose any relative motion between surfaces. For the simple example of a book resting on a flat table, the frictional force is 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.
