true or false
the force of friction acts in the SAME direction as the direction of the sliding object
If the object is sliding down an inclined plane and the force of friction is in the same direction, will that make it easier or harder to for the object to slide down?
so wuld that b tru or fasle
Try thinking about what DrBob222 said. Compare the effects of two forces acting in the same direction in contrast to two forces acting in the opposite direction.
Then you answer whether it is true or false.
False.
The force of friction acts in the opposite direction to the direction of the sliding object. When an object moves or slides across a surface, there is resistance between the two surfaces known as friction. Friction always acts to oppose the motion of the object, which means it acts in the opposite direction to the force that is causing the object to slide. This force of friction is responsible for slowing down or stopping the object's motion.
