When an airplane takes off, it is going against the gravitational pull. This in turn slows down the plane.

The name of the froces that slows objects moving through air?

There are two forces that will slow an object moving through the air. The first is friction due to the air and the second is gravity. However, in the case of gravity, it only acts to change the component of the object's velocity in the vertical direction.


What slows down a moving object?

Factors that can slow down a moving object include friction from surfaces it comes into contact with, air resistance, gravity, and any other opposing forces acting on it. These forces can reduce the object's speed or bring it to a stop.


What force slows down a falling object?

Gravity is the force that causes objects to fall, while air resistance or drag slows down a falling object as it moves through the air. The larger the surface area of the object, the greater the air resistance force, which opposes the force of gravity and slows the object down.


How does gravity affect an object in motion?

it pulls the object towards the earth which kind of slows it down i guess. or is that friction? For an object travelling in the Earths atmosphere, or near to the Earth above the atmosphere, gravity provides a force pulling the object towards the centre of the Earth. Unless the object is travelling fast enough, what is called the escape velocity, this gravity force will ultimately cause the object to fall back to the surface. Friction is something else, the friction with the air in the atmosphere also slows the object, but this force acts in opposition to the direction of motion, not towards the Earths centre. To compute the trajectory of the object you need to take both forces into account.


Forces acting on a falling object?

Gravity: The pull of two objects on each other.Inertia: Basically something that slows any kind of acceleration or deceleration on a moving object.Yup, those two are the main forces that act on a falling object.

What forces govern thrown objects?

Momentum- a moving object tends to keep moving. Friction- pushing air out of the way slows it down. Gravity- pulls it down

What does friction do to an object that is moving?

Slows it down, and heats it up.


What is the name of the force which slows any moving object?

Friction?


What does frictions do to a moving object?

It slows it down and/or creates heat.


What force slows moving objects?

Inertia is what slows down moving objects. 2nd Answer: Not even close . . . inertia would keep objects FROM slowing. Friction or running into another object will slow a moving object.


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.
