No, slows its motion.
What happens to the speed of a moving object when it decelerates?
It slows down.
What happens to the speed of a wave as it travels from a liquid to a solid?

Do you have nerves in your heart?
Yes, but not somatic nerves. Instead the heart is enervated by the autonomic nervous system (used mainly to speed up and/or slow down the heart rate). There is also an internal set of nerves (referred to as Perkingi fibers) that are used to synchronize the beats of the heart.
What are the comparatives action on the parasympathetic nerves and sympathetic nerves in circulatory system of the body?
The parasympathetic nerves secrete norepinepherine at the AV node (the pacemaker), which slows the heart and reduces stroke volume (the amount of blood the ventricles pump out with each cycle. Sympathetic nerves do the opposite; they secrete epinepherine at the AV node, which stimulates the heart to increase speed and stroke volume, so that more blood is pumped from the heart faster.
What system conrols the regulations of the beats?
The "autonomic" nervous system controls the speed with which the heart beats.
What is a good way to remember the definition of autonomic nervous system?
The autonomic nervous system is always on automatic. You don't have to think about it. When it needs to speed up, it speeds up. when it needs to slow down, it slows down. It is all automatic.
What happens to your heart rate when you start jogging?
Whenever you begin to exercise, you begin to use more oxygen. As you use more O2, more capillaries open up letting more blood to flow into your veins. As it flows into the heart, the heart fills sooner, so it beats quicker. (There are also autonomic nerves that will speed up the heart, so that you don't need to wait for the flow to increase, i.e. it anticipates the reaction.)
If your speed slows down you will have what acceleration?
If your speed slows down, yYou will have negative acceleration or deceleration.
Which part of the brain comtrols the heart beat?
Actually, the heart beats on its' own with the SA node in the heart wall. Impulses from nerves from the spinal cord can cause the heart to speed up or slow down almost instantaneously.
What causes the heart's pacemaker to change the rate at which the heart beats?
Nerves The sympatetic nerve increases the SA node to speed up the heart rate The parasympathetic nerve uses the vagus nerve which decreases HR
What happens to the speed of light when it is refracted?
The speed of light slows down.
Does the shape of the sail affect the speed?
Yes, It depends on the speed but it slows it down.
What is a nerves top speed?

How does friction change the speed of moving object?
