The reasons are the same as they are for any similar oscillatory system. It is largely because energy is dissipated as heat wherever there is friction: at the ends of the strings and where the balls collide. Hence the total amount of energy within the system falls until the oscillation is no more. Wherever there are resistive forces, there can be no perpetual motion without violating the Conservation of Energy principle.

How does newtons third law of motion affect ballet?

newtons first law: she will not move unless an outside force acts upon her, like her feet moving or her partner moving her!


Why is it really hard to push a car to start moving it but it is easy to push it to keep it moving?

newtons first law. An object in motion stays in motion. Its inertia keeps it going


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 is newtons first called?

Newton's First Law is called his First Law of Motion. It states that an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless influenced by something else that slows or stops its motion. Likewise, an object at rest - not moving - tends to stay at rest unless influenced by something else that starts it moving.


When an object is moving in a straight line it will?

This is referring to Newtons fist law of motion. An object at rest will continue to stay at rest, and an object in motion will continue to remain in motion at the same velocity, unless acted upon by any unbalanced force. Researching Newtons fist law will answer your question in greater detail if you need more info.


What makes an object in motion to stay in motion?

An object in motion stays in motion due to inertia, which is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion. If no external force is acting on the object to slow it down or change its direction, it will continue moving at a constant velocity.


What puts things in motion?

Force is what puts things in motion. When a force is applied to an object, it can accelerate and start moving. This force can come from a push, a pull, or other interactions between objects.


What force make an object stop moving?

The force that makes an object stop moving is typically friction. When an object is in motion, the force of friction between the object and the surface it is moving on acts in the opposite direction of the object's motion, eventually bringing the object to a stop.


Why do moving objects on earth eventually stop?

due to the fact that another force is opposing its motion .In Earth it is friction


What is newtons law of inertia?

"a body will not change its state of motion or of uniform motion until an unbalanced external force is applied to it"eg.If their is no friction, the car moving with 40 km/hr will move with same velocity.


How can soccer relate to newtons first law of motion?

When you kick the ball you are providing an outside force that changes its motion. After kicking the ball travels in a straight line while friction amd gravity slow it and keep it from moving at a constant speed.


What keeps an object in motion?

An object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force, as described by Newton's first law of motion. In the absence of any external forces, an object will continue moving at a constant velocity in a straight line due to inertia.
