Best Answer

Any force that acts in a direction opposite to the movement. Quite often, this will be friction.

Friction causes a moving object to?

Well if you put that then yes cause they are touching by force and there at rest!!


What are the different effects of forces on object?

force can change the shape and size of an object force can change the direction of an moving object force can make a stationary object move and make a moving object move faster force can slow down or completely stop a 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 force causes a bike to slow down when you stop pedalling?

Friction causes the bike to slow down.


Newtons second law says to move a mass you need a?

A force. To be precise, a force causes an acceleration - a change in velocity. In theory, if an object is already moving you don't need a force to keep it moving, although in practice, quite often there are frictional forces that slow the object down.


What can speed up or slow down a moving object?

A force.


A force can make moving objects?

A force will cause a moving object to continue moving. It will also cause the object to move farther and faster until friction slows it down.


The force that slows something down?

Friction is a force that opposes all movement to slow down a moving object.


What causes objects in motion on earth to not keep moving in a straight line forever?

Any force will make the object's motion change. Usually this will be a frictional force that slows the movement down.


Describe two effects of a force on a moving object?

slow the object down or speed it up


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.


Is it true that when an object is not moving there's no force?

there is gravity is sell keeping it down
