The primary reason is that the hurricane is cut off from its source of energy: moisture from warm ocean water. Increased friction slows the winds to some degree as well.

Does the earths rotation slow down from a hurricane?
no it is extremely unlikely (1 out of 1000000000000) it is only the things on eart e.g. counttrys which get effected
When a hurricane hits land most of the damage is caused by what 2 things?
Storm Surge is a major contributor to tropical cyclone damage. Hurricane Sandy for example cause much of it's damage along the coastline of New Jersey by its high storm surge of nearly 11 feet. Farther inland during the storm high winds can down trees and cause more damage. Rain can also cause damage. Hurricanes with a lot of rain can trigger landslides and overflowing rivers which can lead to unstable ground and erosion. There is not 2 primary things that cause the most damage. All of the factors of hurricanes are damaging.
Did a hurricane knock down a building?
Yes!
What is faster hurricane or spitfire?
the spitfire is slightly faster but the hurricane had bigger guns which might have slowed it down.
What factors would most likely cause a hurricane to decrease its strength?
Cooling down. This can be from moving to cooler waters, or moving over land, which will also reduce its energy.
What were some of the things it damaged?
a hurricane will damage roads, stores and knock down treas bushes and many other things
Can a hurricane take down a tree?
yes. a hurricane is very strong.
Why does the land flood if the hurricane does not touch down?
First, hurricane do not "touch down," tornadoes do. Hurricanes can cause flooding even if they do not make landfall simply because they are very large. While a landfall is only counted if the center of the storm strikes land, rains heavy enough to cause flooding can extend several hundred miles from the center.

How much rain can a hurricane bring?
about 80 cm of rain falls down from a hurricane
What things can friction cause?
Friction can cause things to change direction, slow down or stop. It also produces heat, and in extreme cases sparks.
If you kick a soccer ball down the field what two things will cause it to slow down?
friction and gravity
What causes a hurricane to slow down?
Land
Did a hurricane knock down a building?
Yes!
How does friction cause the motion of an object to change?
Friction slows things down
Friction can cause objects to slow down what else can it do?
speed things up
