Best Answer

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 causes voltage to increase and decrease?

If you are referring to the voltage at your residence, then voltage variation is caused by the changes to the load on your supply network. The network load varies throughout the day, being busiest, for example, around lunchtime and around dinnertime. The resulting load current variation causes the supply voltage to vary (it drops when the load current increases) but, by law, your supplier is obliged to maintain any voltage variation within limits -in the UK, for example, these limits are between +10% and -6% of the nominal 230 V.

What causes an object to slowdown or speed- up?

An object can only slow down, speed up, or change direction, if there is a net force acting on the object.


How does a knife decrease the force or the distance?

Because the size of the objects determine the speed and force of the object, the smaller the object, the higher the speed and the less force is applied whereas a larger object will apply more force and less speed.


Can A force can cause an object to change its speed?

Yes,because if a force is getting weaker it causes the speed to slow down but if the force is getting stronger it causes the object to move faster.
