Question

Force of friction always acts on moving objects and its direction shall be

A.

On any direction

B.

Along the direction of motion

C.

Perpendicular to the direction of motion

D.

Opposite to the direction of motion

Correct option is D


Friction is a resistive force that opposes the relative motion of two surfaces in contact. It always acts in a direction opposite to the motion of an object to resist sliding or rolling.
For example:
· If a car moves forward, friction acts backward at the points of contact between the tires and the road.
· If a book is sliding on a table, kinetic friction opposes the motion, trying to bring the book to rest.
