What is friction. what are the two important properties of friction

1. It always acts in the direction opposite to the direction of motion. 2. It's magnitude is equal to that of the force trying to set the object in motion only until it starts to move.

Explanation: Properties of frictional forces:

1. Frictional force always acts parallel to two planes in contact with each other and in a direction opposite to that of relative motion of the two bodies. 2. Frictional forces are caused due to intermolecular interactions between the bodies.

  distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

explanation:

the instantaneous velocity = change in position/time taken

the slope of the graph should give instantaneous velocity.

  slope of a graph = change in value of y -axis / change in values of x -axis

  comparing both the equations

    change in value of y -axis = change in position

  change in values of x -axis = time taken

so position values should be on the y axis and time values should be on the x axis.

distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.
