What force can resist motion?

Friction is a force that can resist motion by acting in the opposite direction to the direction of movement. Other forces, such as air resistance and electromagnetic forces, can also resist motion by exerting a force against the direction of motion.


What is the name of the force that keeps an object in motion stay in motion?

The force that keeps an object in motion stay in motion is called inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its velocity.


What is the overall force on an object to resist change in its motion is called?

inertia


What surface would have the largest frictional force to resist the motion of a wooden block?

A rough surface with a lot of friction, like sandpaper or a rubber surface, would create the largest frictional force to resist the motion of a wooden block. Smooth surfaces have less friction and would not resist the motion as much.


What is the tendency to resist changes in motion?

This is newton's second law. An object in motion will stay in motion unless another force acts on it. Answer2: Inertia. Newton's 1st law states no force , no change or no change no force.


What is the force that acts to resist motion between two surfaces?

The force that acts to resist motion between two surfaces is called friction. Friction occurs when the surfaces of two objects are in contact with each other and oppose the relative motion between them.


How does force create motion?

Force creates motion by overcoming inertia, which is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. When a force is applied to an object, it accelerates in the direction of the force, causing it to move. The greater the force applied, the greater the acceleration and resulting motion of the object.


Ner force on an object to resist any change in motion?

The force that acts to resist a change in motion is called inertia. Inertia is a property of matter that causes an object to maintain its current state of motion unless acted upon by an external force. It is described by Newton's First Law of Motion.


What is the tendency of objects to resist change in motion?

The tendency of objects to resist change in motion is called inertia. An object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion, unless acted upon by an external force.


The tendancy of an object to resist change in its motion is called?

The name for this tendency is inertia. (Inertia is basically a another name for mass i.e. an object with mass will resist motion)


What is the force that acts in the opposite direction of motion?

The force that acts in the opposite direction of motion is friction. Friction is a force that opposes the relative motion or tendency of such motion between two surfaces in contact. It acts to resist the motion of an object moving across a surface.


The name of the force that slows any moving object?

During motion, the force of friction acts to resist further movement of objects. Such objects are always in contact with others or through air.
