Acceleration


What causes an object to slowdown or speed- up?

An object can only slow down, speed up, or change direction, if there is a net force acting on the object.

Gravity


Does the inertia of an object of an object change as its velocity changes?

No. Intertia is a measure of how easily an object's speed can be changed. So if it takes a certain amount of force or energy to speed an object up to a given speed, it'll take the same force/energy to slow it down to zero again, or it'll take the same energy to double its speed from that given level. Hope that makes sense.


Friction will never speed up an object?

Yes, Friction will never speed up an object because friction slows objects down.

What The build up of speed in a moving object?

Potential energy, which can be released as kinetic energy. Kinetic energy not the build up of speed in a moving object.


How does the affect the speed of an object?

More intertia makes it so more energy is needed in order to change the speed.

Does friction speed up an object?

Friction does not speed up an object; it creates drag and slows it down.
