What is the word for a force that opposes the motion of an object?

∙ 14y ago
The opposing forces such as friction in case of solids and viscous force in case of fluids are always present in the natural world.
a force can cause a resting object to move, or it can accelerate a moving object by changing the object's speed or direction.
in a shorter way to say is friction

What is the kinetic?
The theory that states that all atoms are constantly moving
Why do you have motion?
because everything around has motion because the word motion comes from the word movement when we move its motion but we do not see motion so therefore motion is a force just like gravity because gravity is what pulls every object to the ground. when we push or pull it is force and that is motion pulling or moving an object is motion.
What is the force that keeps things from moving?
A force that maintains motion is called inertia. This is the same as to what is normally referred to as momentum.
Who invented the words force and motion?
Motion is a word.
What word best descibes a push or pull on an object?
A push or a pull on an object is a force on that object.
What is the definition of air resistant?
The term 'air resistance' is a term for how much air drag there is on a object moving through air; a word for contact force that opposes the motion of objects moving in air.

Motion is a word.
Does it take an increasing force to cause an increasing speed?
Yes. It is one of the laws of motion (the second law) that says that an object in motion will not change its motion unless acted on by and outside force. You'll have to add more foce to cause the object to speed up. Correction: No. The key word in the question is "increasing." A constant force will cause a constant rate of acceleration. Increasing force will cause an increasing rate of acceleration.
What word best descibes a push or pull on an object?
A push or a pull on an object is a force on that object.
Why is it easier to change the motion of an object with a small mass than it is to change the motion of a object with a large mass?
Your question rests on a rubber word ... one that means different things to different peopleat the same time, and may even mean different things to the same person at different times.When you say "easier", do you mean perhaps that it requires less force ?If so, then the question is an 'easy' one to answer.It takes less force to change the motion of an object with a small mass than it takes to changethe motion of a object with a large mass because any change in an object's motion is called'acceleration', and Newton's second law of motion tells us simply that the force required toproduce an object's acceleration is proportional to its mass.
How can you use the word centrifugal in a sentence?
The centrifugal forces allowed doctors to obtain a pellet from the sample of blood.ORCentrifugal force helps keep the object in motion from spinning out of its orbit by pulling the object towards the center.
What does the word interia mean?
it means to have motion or force.
A nonzero net force which changes and objects motion what is the word for this?
The name for such a force is either "non-zero net force" or "unbalanced force". The name for the change of motion is "acceleration".
Could someone give me a word that means the same as An object on motion will tend to stay in motion?
Inertia,
