What is inertia and orbital motion?

The natural tendency of an object to not move (if it wasn't moving), or to keep moving (if it was moving). Inertia is the characteristic that a object will want to stay at rest or in motion. You can feel this in a buss when it suddenly moves this is why you get sent backwards.


What are other examples of Third LAw of Motion?

Newton's Third Law of Motion states that bodies simultaneously exert force on each other. Some examples of this law are standing, a bird flying, and a car moving down the road.


What direction does friction act in to an object's direction of motion?

Friction will always act in the direction opposite of the relativistic motion of two objects. If object A is moving to the right on object B, then object A will experience the friction to the left. However, object B will be moving to the left on object A and will therefore experience the friction acting towards the right.


How does force affect the motion of an object?

If you apply force to an object, you accelerate it. If you apply the force in the direction that the object is moving, you speed it up. If you apply it in the opposite direction, you slow it down. If you apply the force in another direction than the object is moving in you will change the direction of the objects motion. The amount of acceleration is given by a = F/m where a is acceleration, F is force and m is the mass of the object.


The ability to work is called?

Energy. Potential energy is like stored energy: ready-to go. (a cart at the top of a roller coaster hill has a lot of potential energy) Kinetic energy is moving energy: in-motion. (when that cart goes speeding down the hill)

What stops a motion of a sled moving down a snowy hill?

friction


Kelly is sledding on a snowy hill in the winter. The energy the sled has as it slides down the hill is a form of?

kinetic energy, as it is moving due to its speed and motion on the snowy hill.


How friction affect the moving object?

Friction always want to retard the motion of a moving object. So friction slows down and finally stops a moving object.


What is is the special force which stops things moving or which slows down moving things?

The special force that stops things from moving or slows them down is called friction. Friction is the resistance encountered when one object moves over another, creating heat and wearing down the surfaces in contact.


What is a force that slows down or stops motion?

Friction is a force that slows down or stops motion by acting opposite to the direction of movement. It arises when two surfaces rub against each other, creating resistance that impedes the motion.


What is the force that stops or slows down motion?

Friction is the force that stops or slows down motion by acting in the opposite direction to the direction of the object's motion. It occurs when two surfaces rub against each other, creating resistance that opposes the movement of the object.


If newton's first law of motion is correct why do moving object on earth eventually stop moving?

Moving objects on Earth eventually stop due to friction and other resistive forces acting against their motion. Even though an object in motion tends to stay in motion according to Newton's first law, the presence of frictional forces causes the object to gradually lose kinetic energy and slow down until it eventually stops.


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.


Why does a moving object eventually come to a stop on a frictional surface?

A moving object eventually comes to a stop on a frictional surface because the friction between the object and the surface creates a force that opposes the object's motion, gradually slowing it down until it stops.


Where do erode rocks go?

What happens to pieces of rock that are carried along by wind, moving ice, or moving water? A fast wind eventually slows down. A glacier stops moving and eventually melts at its front end and sides. All streams eventually slow down and end when they flow into a large body of water, such as a lake or ocean. When water stops moving, it also stops moving, it also stops carrying along bits and pieces of rock are dropped


What keeps a probe moving after the rocket no longer pushes it?

A probe keeps moving due to inertia, which is the tendency of an object in motion to stay in motion. Once the rocket stops pushing the probe, there are no external forces acting on it to slow it down. The probe continues moving through space until another force, such as gravity or collision with an object, acts upon it.
