That could be one description of "force" or "net force."
Notice that it can also change the direction in which an object is moving,
without changing its speed at all.

What forces enable an object to be in motion?
If an object is moving, no force is required to keep it moving. Forces are required to CHANGE its motion, for example, to speed it up, or to slow it down.
How does the direction of acceleration affect the directions of motion?
The acceleration will either speed up or slow down an object's motion in the direction it is applied. Any change in speed or direction is considered acceleration.
What do you know about the motion of an object that has an average speed of 1 m?
its slow
When an object increases in temperature do the particles speed up or slow down?
They speed up. Heat is actually molecular motion. Absolute zero (−459.67°F) is the temperature where the particles have no motion at all.
How will an unbalanced force in the direction opposite motion affect an object's motion?
This will cause the object to slow down.
How does a negative or positive acceleration affect motion?
It can change the direction of motion or it can speed up or slow down an object.

What type of changes in motion might an object experience if it were accelerating?
An object that is accelerating may slow down, speed up, or change direction.

What is the effect of frictionon the motion of an object?
Friction universally counteracts the motion of an object, causing it to slow down.
How will an unbalanced force in the direction opposite motion affect an object's motion?
This will cause the object to slow down.
Can help slow down or stop the motion of an object?
Friction
What three ways do unbalanced forces cause an object to change its motion?
speed, slow down or change direction or some combination thereof.
What effect does friction have on motion?
Friction causes object in motion to slow down. As friction increases, it takes more and more energy for an object to keep its inertia (momentum) and it begins to slow 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.
