Detailed Solution

In the figure, a boy is shown pushing the box from right to left. The force of friction will act on the box from left to right.
Friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material elements sliding against each other. The frictional force is an opposing force; hence, it always acts in a direction opposite to the applied force or the object's direction of motion. Since the force is applied from right to left, the frictional force will act from left to right.
