According to the first law of motion why do objects slow down and stop?

Because if you push a car(toy car) and it starts to slow down then it is because of the friction from the wheels between the track. And if thee car does not slow down then it is because the slope is going diagnal and in the same nonstop speed. DOH

What does friction do to an objects motion?
slow it down, like you
How is gravity inertia and friction used to throw a ball?
When you first throw a ball inertia is the main property. Inertia is the tendency of objects in motion to stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force. Those outside forces are air friction and gravity. Without those forces the ball would keep traveling forever in the direction it was going when it first left your hand. Air friction will slow it down so when the ball is caught (or lands) it is traveling slightly slower than when you first threw it. Gravity is the force that pulls it back down to Earth (or you can think of it as the force that gives it that nice arc).
Describe the motion of a ball in a typical sport?
Since a ball is a sphere the motion it makes is rolling. The rolling happens on the ground and in the air.
Motion perpendicular to earth's surface is what kind of motion?
Motion Perpendicular to the ground is called horizontal motion.
How does force affect the motion of an object?
If you apply force to an object, you accelerate it. If you apply the force in the direction that the object is moving, you speed it up. If you apply it in the opposite direction, you slow it down. If you apply the force in another direction than the object is moving in you will change the direction of the objects motion. The amount of acceleration is given by a = F/m where a is acceleration, F is force and m is the mass of the object.
What does friction do to the motion of object?
Friction slows down the motion of objects.
What is the relation between gravitation and acceleration due to gravity?
Gravitation acts as a force on all kinds of objects, pulling them down. According to Newton's Second Law of motion, this causes an acceleration (assuming other forces can be ignored).Gravitation acts as a force on all kinds of objects, pulling them down.

Objects in projectile motion are pulled down by?
gravity
What direction does friction act to the motion of objects?
slow down
Does an objects momentum changes when it slows down?
yes because momentum deals with motion and if an object slows down there is no motion or MOMENTUM
What is the effect on friction on moving objects?
It resists the motion (slows it down)
Give some examples of liner motion?
A ball falling down(objects falling vertically down are all the examples of linear motion).
Can resistance speed up moving objects as well as slowing them down?
Resistance is force opposing motion so it will only slow objects down
Does water resistance speed up moving objects?
No, it would slow objects down. Resistance implies that the water is acting against the object's motion, slowing it down.
What type of force opposes motion and causes objects to slow down?
Friction forces.
When velocity is negative and acceleration is positive what happens to an objects motion?
Its slowing down (but still moving).
