Mass changes how time passes near it, versus how it passes far from it. Test objects are still seen to speed up as they fall towards massive objects. Light suffers "Shapiro time delay" when its path includes travelling through space that is near a massive body. So I guess the full answer requires you to tell us who is deciding what is slowing down, and how / where you are measuring relative to.

Will a space shuttle speed up or slow down when it fires its engines when facing backwards?

If it is facing in the opposite direction of travel it will slow down.


Why does the space shuttle have high speed in the atmosphere?

The shuttle uses the atmosphere to slow itself down from orbital speed.


Why does time speed up in space?

It dosent unless you are traveling the speed of light it slow's down. The sun going down isnt time.


Why do Slow down and slow up mean the same?

I think you mean slow down and speed up. slow down =slow, speed up=fast


Is it possible to slow down the speed of light?

No, it is not possible to slow down the speed of light in a vacuum.


How does mass of an object affect the braking force when the object moves at constant speed?

Isaac Newton's Theories say that for every force going one way, there is one going the opposite direction. So for example you were travelling forwards through space at a speed of 500 MPH, then if you threw an object forwards (in front of you) you would slow down slightly. Mass affects this because the more mass that the object you throw has, the more you will slow down. Calum, 12

Why doesn't spacecrafts not slow down during the journey?

In space, there is no air resistance to slow down spacecraft traveling at constant velocity. Additionally, spacecraft can use thrusters or gravitational assists to adjust their speed if needed. The laws of physics allow spacecraft to maintain their speed in the vacuum of space.


Does time slow down in space?

Time is relative to the speed of the observer and the faster an observer travels at the slower time will appear for him. So time slows down with speed not with distance.


Does the PNS slow down or speed up HR?

What happens if a large mass is dropped into something moving at constant speed?

The object that is moving at a constant speed will slow down. Its new velocity will be determined by the original constant speed along with the new combined mass of the moving object and the additional "large mass."
