An example of such a force is friction, but a term for forces that act against motion are decelerative forces.
Newton's Third Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. However, these can be in any direction and may or may not influence an object in motion.

∙ 15y agoThe opposite of motion is motion in the opposite direction e.g. if you push an object to the left the opposite would be pushing force applied to the right

What is the direction of friction forces?
opposing the 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.
In what direction is the force of friction exerted?
Friction acts in the opposite direction of the object's 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.
Why does air resistance slow things down?
Because the force generated is always opposite the direction of motion.
What is the force that always acts opposite to the direction of the motion?
Friction
What is the direction of friction forces?
opposing the motion
Force that resists motion between two touching surfaces and always acts opposite to the direction of motion?
A force that resists motion between two touching surfaces and always acts opposite to the direction of motion is called friction. Friction will slow down a car when the brakes are applied.
What does the dierection of friction always act?
it acts in the opposite direction of motion or force
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 is the third law of motion all about?
states that for every actrion force ther is always an opposite and an equal reaction force
In which direction does friction act?
Friction always acts in the opposite direction to that of the motion of the other object. Meaning, friction slows down the motion of an object by exerting opposing forces on it.
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.
What is the force that atcs in an opposite direction to the motion of a moving object?
Friction always acts in a direction opposing the motion of an object.
Would friction make an object faster?
No, friction is a force which always acts in the direction opposite to that of motion.
What does a force in the opposite direction to the motion cause?
A force applied to a moving object in the opposite direction of its motion causes its velocity to decrease.
