Friction is a force that speed's up motion between two surfaces that are in contact?
no. it is the opposite. friction is the force that slows down things in motion in contact with each other.
That which slows the motion between two objects in contact with each other is defined as?
FRICTION .......... friction
What is a force that slows or stops motion when objects rub together?
Friction slows or stops motion when objects rub together.
Is the reason a moving object slows down is that its force of motion gradually runs out?
FALSE
What causes objects in motion on earth to not keep moving in a straight line forever?
Any force will make the object's motion change. Usually this will be a frictional force that slows the movement down.

Air slows the motion of an object by a force called what?
Air resistance.

When a moving object rubs against something its motion slows down because of a force called what?
Friction
Slows the motion between two objects in contact with each other?
friction
Gravity slows the motion between two objects in contact with each other?
false
Is it true Gravity slows the motion between two objects in contact with each other?
No.
What is the unit for the amount of friction that slows down an object?
Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object. So the unit is Kg m/s. It has the same unit as force.
What is retarding?
A force which (hampers or hinders) retards motion is a retarding force. Say for example if a ball is in motion and you sligtly touch it with a finger then it slows down before coming to a halt.So, you or to be more precise force excerted by your finger is a retarding force .
