In outer space there is no friction and no opposing force to a spaceship movin at a certain speed then how come you cannot achieve a very high but definite velocity as even a small accelaration?

The simple answer to this is, you can achieve very high velocity. The limiting factor is the speed at which what ever fuel is used is ejected from the rear of the spaceship. The speed of the spaceship's forward motion could only equal that of the fuels ejection at the rear. At this points the forces would be equal and acceleration would stop.

A primary force opposing motion on all fault is called?
friction
In what direction is the force of friction exerted?
Friction acts in the opposite direction of the object's motion
What is the direction of friction forces?
opposing the motion
Sports where friction is either supporting or opposing these games?
Skiing and snowboarding (Skis rubbing against snow slows them down) Skateboarding (Rolling friction, it's a matter of opinion if it supports or opposes them) Swimming (fluid friction makes it harder for them to swim against it) Those are just a few.
What is the difference between adhesion and viscosity?
Friction is a force that opposes motion of any MOVING object but water resistance is the that force opposing any object moving in water. Water resistance is only present in water, Friction occurs mostly in solid motions on land or on another solid They are opposing forces. Water resistance can be considered as a type of friction in water
What do forces opposing motion cause?
Friction
What is the force opposing the motion of a car?
Fluid Friction.
What is the difinition of Frictional force?
A surface force opposing motion. Sticky friction opposes motion at zero speed and kinetic friction opposing motion at non-zero speed.
Does friction cause an object to move or be still?
Friction is an opposing force on an object, so it slows it down.
Force opposing motion between touching surfaces?
Friction
Force opposing the movement of one surface over another?
friction
What force call against moving object?
Friction. Opposing Force
What is the force opposing the movement of one surface over another?
Friction
A primary force opposing motion on all fault is called?
friction
Why do moving objects on earth eventually stop?
due to the fact that another force is opposing its motion .In Earth it is friction
What is the opposing force that resits motion when two surfaces come in contact?
Friction
Why is friction greater between surfaces that are rough?
the greater will strike opposing the motion
