What is the unbalanced force that slows down sliding desk and moving cars?

The force that slows down moving objects is friction, the action of two objects rubbing against each other. This scenario illustrates the action of Newton's Second Law. ...

the force is called gravity (I'm not really sure if that's the right answer, but you can just go to google and type in force that slows down moving objects, glad if I helped(: ...

Unbalanced , because as long as it is moving it is accelerating therefor it is unbalanced . Now if it is at a complete rest then it is not accelerating therefor it would be a balanced force . ...

That is called friction.

Yes, Sliding friction opposes the movement of the book, slowing it down.

Friction is a force that always opposes motion. The force of friction therefore slows down the sliding object. ...

Newton's first law states that every object that is moving will continue moving at constant speed in a straight line until an unbalanced force acts upon it. An object at rest will remain at rest until an unbalanced force acts upon it. A golf ball remains at rest until the unbalanced force of a golf club. Then, it will continue moving at constant speed until an unbaleced force acts on it. What slows it down is friction. Then, the hole or wall...

friction stops things from moving and slows it down

sliding friction slows down a sliding object

because after the object is moving, and the forces are balanced, the force trying to slow it down (like friction, or air resistance) is equil to the one moving it, so it neither speeds up nor slows down. the same applies to the force trying to move the object. ...

Presumably you mean friction.

Friction? Air resistance?

Static friction and sliding friction. Static friction is the force that stops a mass from sliding and sliding friction is the force that slows down an object that is already sliding. Static friction is stronger than sliding friction, and this difference is reflected in different coefficients of friction for sliding and static friction for a given surface. ...

Static friction is the force that must be overcome in order to initiate the object's motion, ie. to start the object moving. Sliding, or Kinetic (moving) friction is the force that resists the object's motion , ie. it slows the object down if it's already moving. Generally, Static friction is a higher value than kinetic friction, ie. pushing an already moving object is easier than pushing a still object ...

The forces are unbalanced. The force of Friction is obviously greater than whatever force is pushing the book in the direction of travel, if one is pushing it at all. If the forces on the book were balanced, the book would continue to slide with a constant velocity. ...

velocity

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. ...

Static friction is frictional force that prevents or slows two surfaces from sliding past each other. An example is a kid sliding down the slide. ...

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

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. ...

Friction is the force that causes objects to slow down when moving through the air. It is also known as air resistance. ...

Objects start out as either a rest or moving. If they are at rest, they require a force to be applied for them to start moving. If they are moving, they require a force to either slow them down or to make them stop. That means that once something starts moving, it will move forever, unless a force slows it down. The catch is that the force can be friction. ...

It's called Centrifical Force. All the passengers are moving at the same potential as the bus as long as it is moving. When the bus slows quickly, the passengers momentum drives them forward. ...

Friction. Otherwise known as air resistance.

Whenever another force - usually friction - slows it down.
