They don't. If there are no external forces acting on a moving object, then the object
continues moving in a straight line with constant speed. Whenever an object slows down,
it must be the effect of an external force acting on it.

Why do objects sometimes appear to slow down on their own?
Friction.
What does friction do to an objects motion?
slow it down, like you
What causes something to slow down?
The weight of the objects or due to the force
What direction does friction act to the motion of objects?
slow down
Which two forces can slow objects down?
friction and weight
Do objects that move in space ever slow down?
No and yes. All objects in space move, but the gravity of the sun and the planets slow down a spacecraft or other object if they get too close.
What force can act against objects to slow them down?
Friction and Gravity.
What is a contact force that can make moving objects slow down?
It is friction.
What opposes motion and causes moving objects to slow down?
concervation of momentum concervation of momentum 2nd Answer: Well, not really, no. Friction causes moving objects to slow.
Can resistance speed up moving objects as well as slowing them down?
Resistance is force opposing motion so it will only slow objects down
How do you slow down growth?
you can not slow down growth. Growth goes at its own pace either fast or between fast and slow.
Why does an object moving through the air slow down?
=normally objects slow down because of the friction. this means that the surface area is in contact with the air particles so that will slow the object down.==or they put the breaks on .=
