What changes when unbalanced forces are applied to a moving bike along the direction it is moving?

friction


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.

Recognize that forces can change an objects speed or direction?

all external forces can change the velocity of a body e.g.(gravity,friction etc.)


What direction does friction act in to an object's direction of motion?

Friction will always act in the direction opposite of the relativistic motion of two objects. If object A is moving to the right on object B, then object A will experience the friction to the left. However, object B will be moving to the left on object A and will therefore experience the friction acting towards the right.


What Are the Non-Fundamental Forces?

Normal, Friction, Tension, and Elastic Forces.


Why does a ball come to stop when it is rolled across the floor?

Because of the forces that act on the ball in the direction opposite to its motion ... air resistance and friction with the floor.


What forces act on a rolling ball?

It acts as a rolling friction or rolling resistance when it starts to roll on a flat surface , it resists the direction of rotation of the object in both clock wise and anti clock wise direction.


A force that is opposite to the direction of motion?

Inertia is a property of matter that makes it harder to move, so that is probably what you are thinking of, but technically, forces do not oppose motion. Depending upon the direction in which a force is applied, one force can oppose another force that is acting in an opposite direction, but forces are not opposed to motion as such.


What are the forces on a hockey puck as it slides away on ice?

Friction in the opposite direction to the direction of motion. Weight directly downwards. Reaction force directly upwards.


What are the force acting on a fallen object what direction are these forces?

Assuming you mean "falling": the main forces are gravity (downward), and friction (in the direction opposite to the object's movement - for example, if the objects falls straight down, that would be upward).
