What else can I help you with?
Do balanced or unbalanced forces cause a moving object to continue moving at a constant speed?
A balanced force will not cause a moving object to change its constant speed. It's an unbalanced force that would either speed up or slow down the moving object.
What are three things that friction can do to a moving object?
Friction can slow down the object's motion, decrease its speed, and ultimately stop the object from moving.
What can speed up or slow down a moving object?
Factors that can speed up a moving object include applying a force in the direction of motion and reducing friction. Factors that can slow down a moving object include applying a force in the opposite direction of motion and increasing friction.
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.
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.
Ways of slowing down a moving object?
You can slow down a moving object by applying a force in the opposite direction of its motion, increasing friction between the object and the surface it is moving on, or utilizing a drag force like air resistance to decrease its speed.
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.
URGENT Can resistances speed up moving objects as well as slowing them down?
No, resistance always slows down moving objects. When an object encounters resistance, such as air resistance or friction, it requires more energy to maintain its speed or accelerate, ultimately slowing it down. Resistance cannot speed up objects.
What happens to the speed of an object when it is thrown up in the air and when it comes back down?
an object thrown into the air will slow down as it ascends higher into the air until it stops ascending and the speed of the object increases as it falls until it reaches its terminal velocity in air. As an object passes through air, it encounters air resistance which slows down an object moving freely through air. An object will be moving at a slower speed when it hits the ground than it did when it was thrown into the air due to this air resistance.
