When an object slows down it has no acceleration?

When an object slows down it is still accelerating.


When an object slows down it's accelerate is?

When an object slows down, its acceleration is negative (in a linear sense), or in a direction opposed to its motion (in a vector sense).


What role does friction play in the speed of an object?

It slows the object down.


What force slows down a falling object?

Gravity is the force that causes objects to fall, while air resistance or drag slows down a falling object as it moves through the air. The larger the surface area of the object, the greater the air resistance force, which opposes the force of gravity and slows the object down.


When an object slows down it has what acceleration?

Retardation or negative acceleration or deceleration.


When an object slows down it is what?

Slower than it was before.


What is a object that shows acceleration?

When a car slows down


Does an objects momentum changes when it slows down?

Yes, an object's momentum changes when it slows down. Momentum is calculated as the product of an object's mass and velocity, so any change in velocity, such as slowing down, will result in a change in momentum.


What type of friction slows down a sliding object?

The type of friction that slows down a sliding object is kinetic friction. It occurs between two objects in contact when one (or both) of the objects is in motion. Kinetic friction opposes the direction of the object's motion, leading to a decrease in its speed.


What does friction do to an object that is moving?

Slows it down, and heats it up.


What does frictions do to a moving object?

It slows it down and/or creates heat.


What determines how much an object speeds up of slows down?

The net force acting on the object determines how much it speeds up or slows down. If the force is in the same direction as the object's motion, it speeds up; if it's in the opposite direction, it slows down. The object's mass also plays a role, with more massive objects being harder to speed up or slow down.
