Because the force generated is always opposite the direction of motion.

Do asteroids have constant speed?
Asteroids have a constant speed in a vacuum if there isnt anything else affecting it such as gravity or by colliding with other things. If it was to be in the earths atmosphere then the air would cause a resistance and slow it down :) hope this helps
What is air resistances?
It is the action of friction that slows something moving through air. The larger the object, the more the air resistance acting on the object.
How does air resistance affect the acceleration of falling objects?
As a falling object accelerates through air, its speed increases and air resistance increases. While gravity pulls the object down, we find that air resistance is trying to limit the object's speed. Air resistance reduces the acceleration of a falling object. It would accelerate faster if it was falling in a vacuum.
What happens to the air particles inside a hot air balloon when the burner is turned off?
they slow down
Why does a helium balloon deflate in the fridge?
The air molecules slow down and it deflates.
What things use air resistance to slow down?
A parachute
Which forces slow things down out of upthrust friction weight and air resistance?
Air resistance and friction. Weight can sometimes slow you down if your going up in like a plane or rocket. UpTHRUST THRUST=Push
What causes a parachute jumper to slow down?
A parachute is slowed down by air resistance.
What is air resistance and how does it affect a falling object?
Air resistance is the force acting on an object moving in air that tends to slow it down or produce drag. If a stone is falling, air resistance will be acting on it to try to slow it. Should we consider a jet moving through air, air resistance will be providing drag to slow the jet down.
What is aerobraking?
It is using air resistance to slow an object down.
Can a baseball slow down because of the resistance of air?
Yes
Which car has the least air resistance?
slow everything down
How can we slow down the skydiver?
Air resistance and ultimately the ground.
What is the force that slow a parachutist down a they fall through the air?
Air Resistance or friction with the air.
What happens to the air resistance as the parachute opens?
Air resistance will increase when the parachute opens, and the decent of the skydiver will slow down.
Which forces slow down a car as it drives along?
air resistance
What do parachutes do that cause skydiver to slow down?
simple air resistance
