Gravity will speed up a force if gravity acts in the same direction as the object is already moving - for example, if the object is already moving downward - and if counterforces (such as air resistance) don't interfere too much.

Not a practical example of gravity acting on a moving object?
A car speeds up as a trafic light turns green.
What happens when a moving object speeds up slows down or changes directions is it acelleration?
what happens when a moving object speeds up,slows down,or changes direction?
What is the example in which gravity speeds up a moving object?
If you are on a skateboard going x miles per hour, and you come across a downhill slope, your velocity will increase as you go down the hill.
A vertically launched object When is the acceleration due to gravity greater when ascending from the top or descending?
As long as the object stays somewhere near the surface of the earth, the acceleration due to gravity is constant, whether the object is moving up, down, sideways, or not moving at all.
How does friction affect objects?
2 ways:it heats up the object as it skids or speeds along, often causing the object to melt slightly or completely.it slows the object down due to gravity.

Why does an object accalerate when it falls toward earth surafce?
Gravity speeds it up

Why can rock avalanches move a such great speeds?
Gravity speeds them up.

What does a change in an object's motion mean?
It means at least one of these things happens: -- the object speeds up -- the object slows down -- the object keeps moving at the same speed, but turns to a different direction
Can gravity slow down an object?
Yes, if the object is moving up, gravity will slow it down. For example, if you toss a tennis ball straight up, it will slow down until it finally stops, turns around and comes back down.
As a freely falling object speeds up what is happening to its acceleration due to gravity?
Its acceleration due to gravity is constant. The acceleration is equal to the object's change in speed every second. I've tried to illustrate the constantly-increasing falling speed in my diagram below.
Is there a object with only one force?
Is there an object with only one force, like gravity or air resistance ?? It is for me moving up to set 1 in science and i really need this ! Thank-you
