This question is ambiguous. It depends on what force you are comparing the friction force with. Friction, itself, is a force, which will be directed in a direction OPPOSITE the sliding or attempted sliding of two surfaces.

∙ 14y agono, because friction is opposing to the direction of the force which makes object still in their position.

Does friction move in the same direction as or in opposite direction as the object?
The force of friction ALWAYS acts in the direction exactly opposite to the directionin which the object is moving.If the friction force acted in the same direction as the object's motion, then youwould want to have as much friction as possible, because that would help youmove the object with less fuel.
How the direction of the force of kinetic friction is related to the direction of an object's motion?
Friction force works against the motion of the object. In other words friction force has the opponent direction of the velocity of the object.
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.
How does the direction of friction compare to the direct motion?
The direction of the force of friction is opposite of the direction of the motion.
In what direction is the force of friction exerted?
Friction acts in the opposite direction of the object's motion
When tow people are pushing on a desk in same direction as reference direction what will happen to object?
If the combined force is enough to overcome the force of friction, the desk will start moving.
How the direction of the force of kinetic friction is related to the direction of an of an objects motion?
Friction always acts opposite to the direction of motion.
How does the direction of the force of kinetic friction is related to the direction of of an objects motion?
Friction always acts opposite to the direction of motion.
What are principles of friction?
there is nothing called as principle of friction. friction is just a force which will act in the opposite direction of which you apply force.
What is the direction of the force of friction on wheel of bicycle?
the direction of force of friction provided from earth is in its opposite direction.i.e the wheel and frictional force are both opposite to each other
What is the force that changes to direction of an object?
Friction
What is the direction of friction on the furnirure?
The direction of the friction force is always opposed to the movement. If I push my desk to the north, the friction force will be to the south - and if I don't push hard enough, it won't budge.
