False. An object will go on forever if there were no forces to act upon it.
In space, a rocket will go forever at the speed it projects. We only need the engines to steer an for lift off.
On Earth, a toy car will go a short distance when pushed. Friction will go against it.
True. Air resistance is proportional to surface area, with larger surface areas creating more drag as the object moves through the air. This can result in the object experiencing greater resistance and slowing down.
Only if the object does not MOVE. If it moves in any direction, then the NET Force on the Object is NOT ZERO, it is equal to the (Applied Force) - (Friction Force). So the answer to your question is FALSE.
If the two forces acting on an object are not lined up, the object will experience a net force that is a combination of the two forces. This will result in the object accelerating in a direction that is a combination of the two forces, based on their magnitudes and directions.
I don't see how anything can "act against momentum"; momentum is always conserved. If there is friction, the movement of the object will be slowed down; but in this case, momentum is transferred to the air, or whatever is slowing down the object in question. Total momentum will be conserved.
False
True. Changes in motion are caused by forces acting on an object, such as gravity, friction, air resistance, and applied forces. These forces can either speed up, slow down, change the direction, or stop the motion of an object.
False. An object is slowing down when its speed is decreasing, which means it is decelerating, not accelerating in the direction of motion.
True. A force acting in the opposite direction to the motion of a moving object will slow it down or stop it. This is known as friction or drag.
True. A force can act in the opposite direction of the object's motion, causing it to slow down and eventually stop. This is known as deceleration.
True, friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object when it is in contact with another surface. Friction can cause the object to slow down or stop moving.
Yes, the statement is true. Unbalanced forces acting on an object will cause a change in the object's velocity. This change can involve speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction.
though different terminology is used. Motion is thought of in acceleration and velocity. Now, velocity is just the distance covered over an amount of time, or speed. Acceleration is the change in speed. In general terms, any object that is standing still is being acted upon by equal and opposite forces, and if one of those forces was changed, then the object would undergo acceleration. Think of a person holding a coffee cup. Gravity is working on the object to pull it down, and his or her arm is pulling equally in the opposite direction to keep it up. If the person were to let go, there wouldn't be the upward force, and the cup would accelerate towards the Earth, and its "motion" would be changed. TRUE!
False. Friction acts to oppose the motion of an object, slowing it down. It creates resistance between surfaces in contact, converting some of the kinetic energy into heat.
True. Air resistance is proportional to surface area, with larger surface areas creating more drag as the object moves through the air. This can result in the object experiencing greater resistance and slowing down.
False. A negative slope on the velocity vs time graph indicates that the object is decelerating or slowing down, but it is still accelerating in the opposite direction.
This statement is true because a force acting in the opposite direction of an object's motion can cause deceleration, ultimately leading to a decrease in speed and eventually stopping the object if the force is strong enough to overcome its inertia. Examples of forces that can slow down or stop an object include friction, air resistance, and braking forces.
False. At least the way "acceleration" is described in physics, acceleration involves any change in velocity - so the "accelerating" object can speed up, slow down, or simply change direction.
