In geneal frictional force. If it rubs against a surface then it is known to be friction. If it drags the moving body then it is said to be viscous drag.

Explain what is the negative sign in hook's law mean?
It means that the force is in a direction opposite to the displacement of the spring.It means that the force is in a direction opposite to the displacement of the spring.It means that the force is in a direction opposite to the displacement of the spring.It means that the force is in a direction opposite to the displacement of the spring.
What is a vertical force?
The forces acting in a vertical direction or in a straight direction is called vertical force
What shall you do when you find the value of driving force is negative?
The acceleration is in the direction of the positive force so you will have deceleration in the direction of the negative force.
When you use a hammer to drive a nail into a piece of wood are you changing the size or the direction of the force?
change the direction of force,because it exerted the force on it.
A vector always consist of?
A vector always consists of a direction and magnitude. For example, a vector representing the weight of an object that is 35N would be represented as an arrow pointing downward with a magnitude of 35N. You could also represent the weight of 35N as -35N, in which the negative symbol indicates a downward force.
Friction can cause a force that pulls on it how?
Friction is always against the direction of the movement.
In what direction is the force of friction exerted?
Friction acts in the opposite direction of the object's motion
What is the force that always acts opposite direction of movement and slows an object as it moves?
attrition
What is the direction of friction forces?
opposing the motion
What results when a force produces a movement in the direction of the force?
'Acceleration' in that direction results.
What is the opposite of lateral movement?
A force acting in a horizontal direction, such as wind, earthquake, or soil pressure against a foundation or a retaining wall.
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.
What conditions must be met for work to be done?
1. A force is needed 2. The point of application of the force is to be displaced. 3. If the displacement is in the direction of the force then work is said to be done by the force and if the direction of displacement is opposite to the force then work is done against the force.
What is the relationship between an object's acceleration and the direction of the force on the object?
If an object is increasing in speed, the acceleration is positive and the force is in the direction of travel. If the object is slowing down, the acceleration is negative and the force is acting against the direction of movement.
Buoyancy is a force that always acts in an?
Buoyancy always acts in the direction opposite to the direction of the gravitational force. We normally consider this direction as 'upward'.
How does adding and removing of force affect a moving object and an object at rest?
For an object in motion, a force applied in the direction of the movement of the object would propel it further along that direction. The force should be equal or more than the momentum of the object. If a force in applied against the moving object in a direction opposite to the movement of the object, the velocity of the moving object is hampered. How much this decrease in velocity would occur would depend on the amount of the opposing force. If a sufficiently large force in an opposing direction is applied, it can even stop the object. If the force is not along or opposite the movement of the object, the force can change the direction of the object. If the force that was causing the movement of the object is removed, the object slows down, until it finally stops. For an object at rest, a sufficient amount of force can set the object in motion.
The action and reaction forces in any situation will always be?
Forces that are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. For example, if you push against a brick wall and it doesn't move or become deformed, then the brick wall is exerting an equal force against you.
