    Friction force direction question

    So the speed is to the left, but the acceleration is to the right in this case?

    Friction force direction question

    The direction of the frictional force would have to be towards the left.

    Friction force direction question

    In order to move to the left, it'd have to have a force of friction to the direction of the left. However, wouldn't that imply that it'd accelerate instead of going at constant speed? I assumed that in order for block B to not fall off, it'd have to have the same speed/acceleration. In this...

    Friction force direction question

    Homework Statement Block A slides on a frictionless ramp, as shown (in the attachment). At the instant, the block is moving up the ramp with speed V. Block B rests on top of A, and does not slip, due to friction between A and B. What is the direction of the friction force acting on B...
