Is it true or false that friction acts to speed up the motion of an object?
False
Speed and direction of motion?
the speed of motion is determined by how fast the object in motion is traveling along with the distance it has traveled. the direction of motion can be discovered by either using a frame of reference (point of comparison) or simple devices such as a compass.
What forces enable an object to be in motion?
If an object is moving, no force is required to keep it moving. Forces are required to CHANGE its motion, for example, to speed it up, or to slow it down.
When an object increases in temperature do the particles speed up or slow down?
They speed up. Heat is actually molecular motion. Absolute zero (−459.67°F) is the temperature where the particles have no motion at all.
What two factors indicate the velocity of an object in motion?
speed and direction! look it up... quote, "the speed of something in a different direction"
What to componets make up the velocity of an object?
The speed of the object and its direction of motion.
When thrust and drag are equal why does the object still move?
When the forces on an object add up to zero, the object's acceleration is zero. Thatmeans the speed or direction of its motion doesn't change. It does not mean thatthe object isn't moving. A moving object would just keep moving at a constantspeed in a straight line.
Is it true or false that friction acts to speed up the motion of an object?
False
How does a negative or positive acceleration affect motion?
It can change the direction of motion or it can speed up or slow down an object.
Does friction speed up an object?
Friction does not speed up an object; it creates drag and slows it down.

How does the direction of acceleration affect the directions of motion?
The acceleration will either speed up or slow down an object's motion in the direction it is applied. Any change in speed or direction is considered acceleration.
What type of changes in motion might an object experience if it were accelerating?
An object that is accelerating may slow down, speed up, or change direction.
Can slow down speed up or stop the motion of an object?
That could be one description of "force" or "net force."Notice that it can also change the direction in which an object is moving,without changing its speed at all.
