An object doesn't "want to" do anything. An object in motion has the natural tendency to remain in motion.

Molecules in an object or substance are always in motion.


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

Friction is a force that always opposes the motion of an object. It occurs when two surfaces are in contact and resists the relative motion between them.


Will friction resist motion of an object on rough surfaces?

Friction always resist motion if the object is sliding on surface.


Do all forces always cause motion?

-- First of all, motion doesn't require any force.-- If the forces on an object are unbalanced, then the object's motion changes. Always.-- If the forces on an object are balanced, then the object's motion doesn't change.


What is the term used in physics to describe the way that an object always wants to keep on doing what it is doing?

Inertia. Newton's First Law states that an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted on by an outside force and, similarly, that an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted on by an outside force.


In which direction does friction act?

Friction always acts in the opposite direction to that of the motion of the other object. Meaning, friction slows down the motion of an object by exerting opposing forces on it.


What Two dimensional motion is not always project on mission and two dimensional motion that is not projectile motion blank is not accelerating the object?

Two-dimensional motion that is not always projectile motion would be circular motion, where an object moves in a circular path. Two-dimensional motion that is not projectile motion and does not accelerate the object could be uniform circular motion, where the speed is constant but the direction changes.


An object wants to mantain its state of motion because it has?

Inertia, which is related to mass.


Do forces always rsult in motion?

No, forces do not always result in motion. A force can cause an object to start moving, change its direction, or change its speed. However, if the forces acting on an object are balanced, the object will remain at rest or in constant motion.


Friction acts in a direction of what to the direction of an objects motion?

Friction provides a retarding force. It always acts in the exact opposite direction of the motion of the object.


What always causes a change in motion of the object?

An unbalanced force will always cause a change in the motion of an object. This change can involve speeding up, slowing down, changing direction, or a combination of these. Inertia, the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion, is overcome by the unbalanced force, leading to the change in motion.
