Question

Friction is a force exerted in the direction opposite to an object's motion, which means friction will cause an object's

velocity to decrease.
-true or false?

Answer 1

true

Step-by-step explanation:

think of a box, if you push it on a smooth floor without friction it would glide pretty easy

but put it on say carpet, the friction from the carpet would not allow the box to move very far

that's also how brakes work, they apply friction to the wheels in order to get them to reduce motion
