Question

Is it possible for the friction force on an object to be in the direction of motion? If so, give an example. If not, why not?

Short answer

Yes, It is possible.

Step-by-step solution

Given Information :

Given an object is in the state of motion.

We need to determine whether the friction force on it can be possible in the direction of the motion.

Simplification :

The friction force always represents the force that is exerted to slow down the motion of the object, but in some cases, the friction force has the same direction of the motion of the object. For example, when you put a box on a chair and pull the chair, there is static friction between the box and the chair it has the same direction of the motion of the chair.

So, the answer is yes, it is possible.
