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.
What does friction do to the object's motion?
The motion of the object might slow down or just change itself object would resist moving or keep moving. An object can have static friction, sliding friction, or rolling friction.
What condition will tend to prevent an object from moving?
it is force which can slow down or stop motion
When energy is in motion what makes it slow down?
the motion that makes things slow down is friction
What can friction do?
Friction acts to inhibit or "decrease" motion. Friction applies to any moving object, and will always act to slow it down or resist a change in its direction of motion.
In regards to waves what is a vibration?
Vibration is the motion or effect of fast or slow moving particles creating specific movements regarding to how fast, how slow, how big, or how small the object is or was.
How can you tell an object is moving when it's motion is to slow to see?
mark its' current position and leave it for a period of time. Then measure and divide for speed.
What is the effect of frictionon the motion of an object?
Friction universally counteracts the motion of an object, causing it to slow down.
How will an unbalanced force in the direction opposite motion affect an object's motion?
This will cause the object to slow down.
How does force affect the motion of an object?
If you apply force to an object, you accelerate it. If you apply the force in the direction that the object is moving, you speed it up. If you apply it in the opposite direction, you slow it down. If you apply the force in another direction than the object is moving in you will change the direction of the objects motion. The amount of acceleration is given by a = F/m where a is acceleration, F is force and m is the mass of the object.
How can you tell if an object is moving when it's motion is too slow to see?
mark its' current position and leave it for a period of time. Then measure and divide for speed.
