The direction of frictional force acting on a body is always opposite to the direction of the motion of the body ...
 
 e.g. - If the body moves 2 right den the direction of friction acting on it will be 2 da left.
 
Hope u have got it.

Hey vinkymarali

you are wrong somewhere

I fhe has asked u that explain him then

He means to say that give him information in detail

See Ankit

In case of motion of a body linearly

the friction force acts in the direction opposite to that of the motion

as it gives resistance to the motion of the body

Anything that gives resistance acts in the opposite of the positive

Force.

Thus well undrstood

We can say that friction force follows the

Newton's third law of motion

" Every force of action has an equal and oppposite force of reaction"

Hope u understood the concept i am trying to explain

If yes plZ rate me for my efforts.
Cheers !!!!@@@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry I by mistake explained in what direction the frictional force
acts as I did not read ur Question properly
When a person walks on the road the friction force acts in the
direction opposite to the direction of motion of the Man .

well I have got a question here..........

that why are we not counting the angle that man's foot makes while walking and then calculate the remaining parameters........

The horizontal component of the reaction of the force exerted on the ground takes a person forward while walking.
So frictional force is opposite to this component of force.
 
In the figure Fcos is the component of F which takes the man forward. So frictional force is opposite to this Fcos ...
 
 
Rate me please...

see the direction of friction always acts opposite to the relative motion between the point of contact and the surface.For instance consider a body placed over the other and a force is applied to the lower mass the direction of friction on the upper mass will be in the backward direction whereas in case of a body rolling over the other friction on the upper mass will act in forward dir

look wat i know of friction force is:
 
if a body in motion dosent slip
ie. on rough surface
it has d friction force in opp. direction of d motion of d body
 
while in case of a slipping surface
friction force is in direction of motion of body
eg. a boll climbing on inclined smooth surface
 
for better understanding u may consult any good physics teacher
 
so, as in ur question
man walks on a rough st. surface
its defineately having friction force in opp. directinn of his walking
 
bcoz if friction force is in same direction he will fall
& i would conclude that its a smooth surface
 
i think i have done me job
bye  have a nice day

r u sure ?

Is not the || component of contact force is friction ?
From the figure Fcos    acts in the forward direction ?
And is not it a fact that friction is sometimes also the cause of motion ?
Here Fcos
   acts in the forward direction.
So ?
 




it is not important where u stand, but in which direction u are moving
