What can speed up or slow down a moving object?
A force.
What happens to the speed of a moving object when it decelerates?
It slows down.
Describe two effects of a force on a moving object?
slow the object down or speed it up
Does inertia change with speed?
Inertia is a measurement of the amount of energy needed either to start the object moving, or to slow down or stop its movement. This depends upon the mass (weight) of the object, but more particularly its change of speed. The greater the mass (weight) of the object the greater the amount of energy needed to move it and stop it.
What happens to the speed of a moving object when it.decelerate?
Decelerate means to slow down.
How can you use integers to represent the velocity and the speed of an object?
This was the essential question on a homework assignment. Speed tells how fast an object is moving but it does not tell the direction. Velocity tells how fast an object is moving and it also tells the direction. When velocity is positive, the object is moving up. When velocity is negative, the object is moving down.
When an object is moving how can we make the object speed up or slow down?
By applying a force in the relevant direction against the object.
What happens if a large mass is dropped into something moving at constant speed?
The object that is moving at a constant speed will slow down. Its new velocity will be determined by the original constant speed along with the new combined mass of the moving object and the additional "large mass."
When would acceleration be negative?
When a moving object is slowing down, i.e. its speed is decreasing.
An example of zero acceleration would be what?
If you are moving at a speed of ceratin speed and there is no force trying to slow you down, and there is no force trying to speed you up. Then there is zero acceleration. An example would be : an object in out in space, if you throw a object away from you the object will float away, since there is no force working on the object after you throw it the object is moving away in a locked speed from you, but have zero acceleration because there is no force affecting the object
URGENT Can resistances speed up moving objects as well as slowing them down?
Yes. For example, if you place an object on a moving conveyor belt, the friction between the object and the conveyor belt will speed it up.
How can you make the object speed up or slow down?
Making an object speed up or slow down always requires a force.-- To make the object speed up, apply a force to it in the same directionthat it's moving.-- To make it slow down, apply a force to it in the opposite direction.
