What happens to an object when it is thrown in the air?
When an object is thrown in the air, it follows a curved path known as a projectile motion. Initially, the object rises until its velocity decreases to zero, then it falls back down due to gravity. The object's motion is influenced by factors like its initial velocity, angle of launch, and air resistance.
How can a moving object be slowed?
By applying a force to it in the direction opposite to its motion.
What is slowing down motion?
Motion can be slowed down by forces like friction, air resistance, or drag. These forces act in the opposite direction of the motion and can reduce speed or bring an object to a stop. Additionally, factors like gravity, mass, and surface conditions can also affect the speed of an object in motion.
What are the possible effects of force when an object moving in a straight line is given a push in the opposite direction?
The object is slowed,The object is stopped,The object's motion is reversed.
When you know both the speed and direction of an object's while it is in motion do you know the distance the object has traveled?
No. For you to know the distance you need to know the time the object has been travelling and a function describing the speed of the object for the time it has been travelling. A direction is not required. correct but you missed direction can affect speed as climbing altitude would get slowed by gravity
Which statement is an obervation if the ramp is steeper then the ball will roll faster or friction slowed the ball down or gravity caused the ball's motion?
"If the ramp is steeper than the ball will roll faster" can be observed during experiments. "Friction slowed the ball down" and "Gravity caused the ball's motion" are both conjectures (guesses).
Can speed of light be slowed by gravity or friction?
No.
When is an object that has been dropped from a great height to the air closest to being in freefall?
An object is closest to being in freefall right before it hits the ground, when air resistance has slowed it down such that its acceleration is primarily due to gravity. At that point, the object's speed is nearly constant and it is falling solely due to the force of gravity.
Can gravity and friction speed up and slow down and change the direction of an object?
GravityGravity can do all three to an object, the best example of this would be tossing a ball straight up in the air: 1) It initially slows down to a halt at the highest point of ascent, 2) Then speeds up as it falls 3) And of course it changes directions at the top. FrictionFriction, however, is a different matter. Friction that deals with motion (dynamic friction) always acts in the opposite direction of motion; therefore, it cannot accelerate an object in the same direction as it is moving. Due to this, friction can only slow down an object. Can it reverse the direction of motion? Since it cannot speed up an object, it cannot make an object move after friction has slowed it down to a standstill like gravity can from the example above. Thus, in conclusion: gravity can slow down, speed up an object and change its direction; however, friction can only slow down an object.
How can gravity be slowed down?
it can't without si-fi technologe
What forces act against momentum?
I don't see how anything can "act against momentum"; momentum is always conserved. If there is friction, the movement of the object will be slowed down; but in this case, momentum is transferred to the air, or whatever is slowing down the object in question. Total momentum will be conserved.
What kind of object will be slowed the most by air resistance?
mass
