Electromagnetic waves slow down or change direction?
Electromagnetic waves are produced by the acceleration of an electric charge. Electromagnetic waves have the same speed in a vacuum (or space). They can slow down and change direction.
Do objects that move in space ever slow down?
No and yes. All objects in space move, but the gravity of the sun and the planets slow down a spacecraft or other object if they get too close.
An electromagnetic wave is slowed down if?
Well, to be honest, electromagnetic wave itself is never slowed down by anything and travels uniformly at the speed of light, c. However, when you look at macroscopic level, it is possible to slow down a combination of many many electromagnetic waves if they travel though a dense medium. The denser the medium, the more 'radiation' is slowed down. So slowing down process occurs when 'radiation' travels from less dense to more dense medium (the closed atoms are packed together, the more they absorb and reemit electromagnetic waves).
Why would a ball would never stop moving if you give it a push (apply a force to it) in outer space?
There is no force of drag or friction acting to slow it down.
Why an electromegnetic wave can travel through empty space that contains no matter?
Because an electromagnetic wave is a wave that doesn't oscillate matter, rather it oscillates between electric and magnetic fields, a phenomenon that requires no matter. In fact, the only thing that matter does, with all of its tiny, little electromagnetic fields coming from the atoms inside of it, is slow the wave down.

Where might it possible to kick a soccer ball and have it never slow down?
You can kick a soccer ball (football) in outspace and it will never slow down.

You can kick a soccer ball (football) in outspace and it will never slow down.
How does a space shuttle slow down?
Reverse thrusters. They create an opposite force to the shuttles movement, to slow it down. (I think)

Does time have friction?
No!! time can never slow down
Will a space shuttle speed up or slow down when it fires its engines when facing backwards?
If it is facing in the opposite direction of travel it will slow down.
Can you throw objects faster in space or on earth?
Space bcause theres no air resistance to slow down the object in space.
What has the author A H W Beck written?
A. H. W. Beck has written: 'An introduction to physical electronics' 'Space-charge waves, and slow electromagnetic waves' -- subject(s): Carrier waves, Electromagnetic waves
How do space shuttles slow down when re entering earths atmoshpere?
Drag from air is the main thing that slows down the space shuttle on reentry.
