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 kind of object will be slowed the most by air resistance?
mass
Which object will be slowed the most by air resistance?
a pingpong ball
What are some true statements about momentum?
Momentum can be transferred from one object to another. Momentum can be slowed by an intervening object. Momentum can be hastened by an intervening object.
Fastest moving part of a glacier is?
The center because the sides are slowed down by friction
What is an object that is not moving?
this object that appears to stay in place is a reference point.
What determines the change in direction of an object after it collides with another moving object?
the force or other moving object
What is the fastest moving object in sports?
A skydiver is the fastest moving object in sports.
What do you call energy if an object is moving?
When an object is moving, it is called kinetic energy.
What direction does friction act in to an object's direction of motion?
Friction will always act in the direction opposite of the relativistic motion of two objects. If object A is moving to the right on object B, then object A will experience the friction to the left. However, object B will be moving to the left on object A and will therefore experience the friction acting towards the right.
