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.


Do things slow down as quickly in outer space as it does on Earth?

Usually not. To slow a moving object down, some force must act on the moving object. On Earth, this force is usually friction. In outer space, there is no significant amount of friction, so moving objects tend to continue moving, unless they are slowed down by OTHER forces, such as gravity.


Rolling Friction is?

Rolling friction is when an object that is rolling/sliding/moving on a surface is slowed down or stopped, because of the friction of the two objects rubbing against each other.

What we slows down objects moving in water?

Objects moving in water are slowed down by resistance from the water itself, known as drag or friction. Drag is caused by the water molecules interfering with the object's movement, creating a force that opposes its motion. Factors such as the object's shape, size, and speed can affect the amount of drag experienced.
