Would a force have to be applied in the same or opposite direction to stop a moving ball?

The opposite direction.
To stop a moving object requires an acceleration in the direction opposite its motion.

What is the opposite of moving?
The opposite of moving would be not moving. The best opposite would be "stay put" or the similar concepts stay or remain. Another possible antonym is "stop" because it represents the opposite of something stationary that moves: something moving that becomes stationary.
What force is always opposite to motion?
An example of such a force is friction, but a term for forces that act against motion are decelerative forces.Newton's Third Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. However, these can be in any direction and may or may not influence an object in motion.
What will happen if the earth starts rotating and revolving in the opposite direction?
The season progression would reverse.
If you fired a gun in space would you accelerate in the opposite direction at the same speed as the bullet?
No. Assuming you have a gun that can fire in space, you would travel in the opposite direction, conserving momentum, but because you are more massive than the bullet, your speed in the opposite direction would be less. Momentum is mass*velocity, so your speed should be less than the bullet's by the same factor as the ratio of the bullet's mass to your own. You would also start rotating unless your shot was perfectly aligned with your center of mass.If that's not convincing, consider what happens if you shoot a bullet straight into the air. Does the earth move in the opposite direction at the same speed?
What direction could a live specimen be moving if it moves left across your field of view?
That would depend on which direction u r facing as it moves left across your field of view. If u r facing West, the spicemen would b moving south, if u r facing north, it would b moving west, if u r facing east, it would b moving north, & if u r facing south, it would b moving east. Most likely the specimen would b travelling in a frontwards direction as opposed 2 backwards, but I think most live specimens r able 2 move in either direction (except maybe fish?) LOL! But im not sure of that fact.
How does adding and removing of force affect a moving object and an object at rest?
For an object in motion, a force applied in the direction of the movement of the object would propel it further along that direction. The force should be equal or more than the momentum of the object. If a force in applied against the moving object in a direction opposite to the movement of the object, the velocity of the moving object is hampered. How much this decrease in velocity would occur would depend on the amount of the opposing force. If a sufficiently large force in an opposing direction is applied, it can even stop the object. If the force is not along or opposite the movement of the object, the force can change the direction of the object. If the force that was causing the movement of the object is removed, the object slows down, until it finally stops. For an object at rest, a sufficient amount of force can set the object in motion.
Can acceleration ever be negative?
Acceleration is negative when the object is moving in the opposite direction. on a graph the line would be in the negative quadrant.
Where would you find the direction?
opposite the direction south.
What should you do if you are in a small boat and a storm is approaching?
The first thing I would do is make sure my plug was in. The second would be to use my weather radio and find out which direction the storm was moving and how fast. I would then travel the opposite direction of the storm.
What is the opposite of moving?
The opposite of moving would be not moving. The best opposite would be "stay put" or the similar concepts stay or remain. Another possible antonym is "stop" because it represents the opposite of something stationary that moves: something moving that becomes stationary.
What is the opposite of changing direction?
The opposite of changing directions would be maintaining a course, or continuing in the same direction.
What is the opposite of left?
The opposite of the opposite of left would be LEFT(;

What is the opposite of relaxation?
The opposite of relaxing is worring or always moving/going somewhere. The opposite of relaxing would be energizing .
What forces would be at work if you were trying to move a huge block of stone?
If you were trying to move a huge block of stone, the forces of friction would be applied against you. To get the stone in motion, you must overcome static friction, the friction force that acts on objects that are not moving and is always working in the direction opposite of your applied force. Then, to keep it in motion, you must overcome sliding friction, which, though it takes effort to keep moving a stone, is substantially less than the effort to get a stone into motion originally.
What would happen if the earth span clockwise?
I don't believe anything would happen except the water in your toilet moving the opposite direction when you flush. Answer 2. If you look from the south celestial pole it does
