Gravity doesn't slow objects down; this is done by friction and air resistance. I know this is because I've studied it in school.
________
Yes I agree with the second answer. I am in 8th grade, and in 4th grade, we had to make a plastic kart go down a hill, and then STOP!! Our vocabulary consisted of friction, which is the force that stops an object.
_____
Yes I also agree with the second answer, i am studying it right now in college, and we did a project on this, and gravity pulls it down, friction and air resistance try to stop it, so the best asnwer would be friction and air resistance.

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

∙ 12y agoFriction. When two objects rub against each other such as a chair sliding across the floor, friction slows it down. Air resistance can also slow it down. Ex: A ball flying through the air. The wind will slow it down. One way to reduce friction is putting wheels on an object. One way to increase friction is to make the surface the object is on Rougher.

moving will slow it down. Some things that could do the job are air resistance,
a rocket engine pointing forward, or friction.

What does unbalanced forces do to a car?
The same as they do to any other object.
What two forces act on objects to slow their motion?
There are many forces that could act on an object, depending on the situation. An object moving on a surface is likely to slow down due to friction, which is related to the gravitational force. Air resistance will affect objects to slow them down, which is proportional to the speed their travelling at.
What forces enable an object to be in motion?
If an object is moving, no force is required to keep it moving. Forces are required to CHANGE its motion, for example, to speed it up, or to slow it down.
Why do some objects move so fast and some move so slow?
The speed with which an object moves depends on its mass, any force applied on it (including frictional forces, which slow it down), and its previous history - i.e., if it has been moving before, it will have the tendency to continue moving, at least for a while, until frictional forces slow it down.
How can you make an object slow down?
One way to make an object slow down is by applying force to the object

What forces slow down and stop an object moving trough air?
friction
What can happen to the velocity of an object when unbalanced forces act on it?
it can slow down or speed up.

What would be the effect upon an object if the two forces acting were not lined up?
The object will speed up change direction or slow down.

What two forces slow rocket down when out of fuel?
inertia and friction are the two forces that slow down a rocket
What do unbalanced forces cause object to do?
When the total group of all forces acting on an object is unbalanced, then the object itselfexperiences acceleration.That means that its motion changes. Depending on exactly how the forces are arranged,the object may speed up, or it may slow down, or it may curve toward moving in a differentdirection.
How could you slow down an object?
You can slow down an object by reducing the force that is making it move forward.
What happend to forces when thing speed up or slow down?
Nothing happens to the forces. The forces are what makes the thing speed up or slow down.
