If we Are moving an object on an inclined surface than shouldn't friction be in the same direction?
Same direction as what? The motion of the object?Nstraw said:If we Are moving an object on an inclined surface than shouldn't friction be in the same direction?

anjelin said:Friction is always in the opposite direction to the direction of movement of an object.
Nstraw said:So friction will oppose the motion
Friction on an inclined plane is the force that opposes the motion of an object as it moves along an inclined surface.
The force of friction on an inclined plane can be calculated using the formula F = μN, where F is the force of friction, μ is the coefficient of friction, and N is the normal force.
The amount of friction on an inclined plane can be affected by the weight of the object, the angle of the inclined plane, the surface material, and the coefficient of friction between the object and the surface.
Friction on an inclined plane can slow down the motion of an object, causing it to move at a slower speed or even come to a complete stop.
To reduce friction on an inclined plane, one can decrease the angle of the plane, use a smoother surface material, or decrease the weight of the object. Additionally, lubricants can also be used to reduce friction on an inclined plane.
