Objects slow down when you slide them across the floor because of friction. With out it, nothing would ever stop sliding.

How does the force of gravity affect the relationships among space objects?
Objects float in space because there is no gravity to pull the objects down. While on earth there is gravity so it pulls the objects to the ground.
What causes something to slow down?
The weight of the objects or due to the force
What force slows things down?
Friction, when moving sideways. Upthrust when you are trying to go down. gravity when you are trying to go up
What is the unbalanced force that slows down sliding desk and moving cars?
The force that slows down moving objects is friction, the action of two objects rubbing against each other. This scenario illustrates the action of Newton's Second Law.
Can a hockey puck float on water?
No, because a hockey puck has a higher density than water. In some cases, objects with higher density than water can still float on the water, if they are small enough to avoid breaking the surface tension of the water. This is also the case if the object's mass is distributed across a large enough area, so you could float a penny on water if you put it down flat across the water, but it would not float if you dropped it in on its side. You also could not float that penny if you melted it down and made it into a sphere, for example.

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.
What force can act against objects to slow them down?
Friction and Gravity.
What causes objects to speed up or slow down?
an outside/net force
Does water resistance speed up moving objects?
No, it would slow objects down. Resistance implies that the water is acting against the object's motion, slowing it down.
What causes something to slow down?
The weight of the objects or due to the force
Effect of friction?
Friction slows down objects by in some capacity rubbing against them
What type of force opposes motion and causes objects to slow down?
Friction forces.
What slows objects down in water?
ya mamma 2nd answer: that's not really an appropriate answer, but the answer to that is is it floats, the water, if it doesn't float, then I don't know.
Do objects float more easily in salt water or fresh water?
Adding Salt to the water increases the density of the water, and therefore makes it weight more per capita. This in turn causes the salty water to push down with more force then water with no salt, causes things that may not float, to float, and things that already float in normal water, to float higher in salty water.
How does a skydiver float?
The momentum of the diver with the gravity against the thinner air in the altitude and the position of your body cause you to slow down your fall.
A force between two moving objects that make it hard for them to move?
Frictional force exist between two moving objects that make it hard for them to move.Frictional force causes objects to slow down if force is not applied continuously to the moving objects. Frictional force causes some of the energy to be converted into the wasteful form of energy.
