What force is responsible for the slowing down?

Friction is a force that will slow things down.


What are things that are moving?

the force


What is is the special force which stops things moving or which slows down moving things?

friction stops things from moving and slows it down


What force slows moving objects?

Inertia is what slows down moving objects. 2nd Answer: Not even close . . . inertia would keep objects FROM slowing. Friction or running into another object will slow a moving object.


Can resistance speed up moving objects as well as slowing them down?

Resistance is force opposing motion so it will only slow objects down


What is meant by the force of friction?

Friction is a force, which (usually) tends to slow moving things down.


What is a force that causes resistance to moving through the air?

Pitch


What does moving an object through a distance transfer?

force and energy


Is drag a contact force or a non contact force?

Drag (or air resistance) is a contact force because in the air there is loads of tiny air particles which collides with an object when passing through,slowing it down until it eventually stops and that makes it a contact force. Crystal


I Need to know what happens when a pram is moving i need to 1Know when pram is speeding up and slowing down and what forces affect wheels 2When pram is speeding up normal slowing down?

The main forces acting on the pram will be the force the person pushing the pram exerts on it, the friction against the ground and air resistance. When the pram is speeding up the force the pusher exerts will be larger than the combined force of the air resistance and the friction against the ground. When the pram is moving at a constant speed the forces acting on it will be balanced I.e. pushing force= air resistance+friction. When the pram is slowing down the air resistance and the friction will be greater than the pushing force.


Energy in the form of a push or pull?

Energy can be transferred to material things by pushing or pulling AND moving it through a distance. The push or pull is a force, and the amount of energy is the magnitude of the force multiplied by the distance through which it acts. No matter how hard you push or pull, if your force doesn't move through any distance, then no energy is transferred to the thing you're pushing or pulling.


Friction and speed?

Speed is how fast something is moving. When to things are traveling at the same speed and rubbing together, they can cause friction.
