Answer:

#See solution for details.

Step-by-step explanation:

-Friction is the force exerted on an object moving against it.

-Friction acts in the opposite direction to the object's motion.

-As such, friction reduces the motion of an object. The object is usually slowed down. The resultant motion of the object is less than the force applied on it.
