What force could cause a moving object to stop?
Any force acting in the direction opposite to that of the motion. It could be a braking force, or drag (resistance from the fluid in which the body is moving), or friction (resistance from the body along which it is moving)
Some ways to reduce friction are by using or applying .?
A way to reduce friction is by using or applying a wax-based product to the surface that touches the ground. Snow skiers apply a wax to their skis. Another way of reducing friction is by designing an object that produces the least amount of air resistance, like a spoiler on a car.
What are four ways to increase the acceleration of an object?
Apply a larger force. Make the object less massive. Decrease air resistance acting on the object. Decrease the coefficients of friction by using a 'smooth' surface, where friction is negligible.
Example of ways increasing friction?
Friction can be increased by reducing the speed of the moving object. Friction can also be increased by increasing the weight of the moving object.
What causes the speed of an object to decrease?
An object that is slowing down is moving or in motion until it stops.It is not necessarily accelerating, as an accelerating object will begin traveling in the opposite direction after it stops. For example, a ball thrown into the air will slow down as the force of the earth's gravity causes it to accelerate downwards. For an instant, the ball will be motionless before moving towards the earth.
What measures would you recommend minimizing resistance?
Whatever moving object you have in mind the ways to reduce resistance are: Streamlining - remove projections if possible and make smooth and round if not Use low friction materials Reduce cross-sectional area of moving object
Name two ways you could reduce friction?
Polish the interacting surfaces or decrease the normal force acting on the moving object.
What are 3 ways to reduce resistance?
divide frequency

How do you reduce air resistance?
Give more flow. (air passage ways) If your in a car and theres a hurricane near you, you don't want your windows closed. There would be air resistance and move your car.
What are two ways to focus a hand lens?
by either moving the object understudy to the focal point of the lens or to move the lens until the object is at the focal point.
How is electrical resistance decreased?
Ways to reduce electrical resistance: increase the diameter of the conductor, decrease or increase the temperature of conductor (depending on its thermal characteristics), decrease the length of the conductor. A change in the material out of which the conductor is made can decrease resistance, too. And there is the phenomenon of superconductivity. In a simple circuit the resistance can be lowered by adding resistors in parallel. The total circuit resistance will then decrease. You can also reduce resistance by substituting resistors of lower value, or by adjusting a potentiometer, or pot, to a lower value.

What are the 3 ways of motion?
The 1 way you can tell an object is in motion is by having a focus point that does not move and watch and see if the object you are looking for is moving. Another way to notice where the object is now, then later, check and see if the object has been moving. lastly, if you are a scientist, you can use telescopes, computers, and the latest gadgets to tell you if an object is in motion.
