How come when you are walking or running on an object that is moving you are not moving as fast as the object eg running on a track on a cruise boat?

You certainly are !
If you're on a jetliner flying along the ground at 500 mph, and you go running up the aisle,
the stewardess flight attendant says you're moving at 5 mph, but any Physicist watching you
from the ground says you're moving past him at 505 mph.

What force slows moving objects?
Inertia is what slows down moving objects. 2nd Answer: Not even close . . . inertia would keep objects FROM slowing. Friction or running into another object will slow a moving object.
Can balanced forces act on moving object?
Sure. If all of the forces on an object are balanced, then the object continues moving in a straight line at constant speed. All of the forces on an airplane cruising in level flight, or on a car on cruise-control on a straight piece of road, are balanced.
Give 5 examples of mechanical energy?
1. moving water such as river 2. moving turbine such as those found in power plants 3. moving object such as vehicles 4. rotation and revolution of the earth 5 . walking and running

Does a still object have momentum?
yes , look at a moving car or a walking person
What sort of energy does running use up?
running uses kinetic energy. * kinetic energy:is the energy produced by a moving object or when someone is moving. * runnung needs 60 kilojoules of energy for every minute you run.
Walking the dog is a trick accomlished with which object?
yoyo
What role does friction play when moving a heavy object?
It can make moving heavy objects easier for example sliding friction you can slide it or rolling friction you can roll the object across some kind of round cylinders or even fluid friction with water running under the object can make it easier.
What is the definition of velocity?
Velocity is a measure of the speed of an object that is moving in a specific direction.Imagine walking across the room. If you walk in the same direction and do not change speed, your velocity remains constant until you stop moving. If you keep a constant speed, but change direction while walking, your velocity changes. If you walk in the same direction but slow down and speed up while walking, your velocity changes. Velocity is a vector quantity that describes the speed and direction that an object is moving. It is the same as "speed" except that it includes the direction of the object as well. Speed is the rate of change of distance.In common language, velocity is often used imprecisely to mean "speed".
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 do you call energy if an object is moving?
When an object is moving, it is called kinetic energy.
