Best Answer

Objects move if they have momentum. Momentum is gained via an applied force.

Therefore objects start or stop moving when a net force is working on them.

How do objects start moving?

Objects start out as either a rest or moving. If they are at rest, they require a force to be applied for them to start moving. If they are moving, they require a force to either slow them down or to make them stop. That means that once something starts moving, it will move forever, unless a force slows it down. The catch is that the force can be friction.


Can a unbalanced force change an objects motion?

An unbalanced force can: change the speed an object moves at change the direction an object is moving cause an object to start/stop moving


Why do some objects move continuously while some moving objects stop suddenly?

Because of friction, Friction is what causes moving objects to slow down and eventually stop. This is an important science idea we can use to describe the force that pushes back on a moving object and makes it slow down and stop.


Friction brings many moving objects to a stop?

yes


Does Friction bring many moving objects to a stop?

yes


Does friction partially stop or completely stop two objects moving at the same speed towards each other?

friction slows objects down but because of that it eventually brings them to a stop


Forces can only stop objects from moving true or false?

False. Forces can also set stationary objects in motion.


What force can cause an object to start moving also stop moving?

Gravity


What are the forces around you?

Forces are pushes or pulls. They can start objects moving, they can stop,speed up, slow down, or change the direction of moving objects. They can lift things, or cause them to turn, bend or twist. They can also prevent motion; eg. a handbrake on a car stops it from rolling down the hill.


Can cause an object to start moving stop moving or change directions?

A force or acceleration


Does moving objects have impulse?

yes moving objects have impulse


How do you be safe with moving objects?

keep distance with moving objects.
