When something slows down what's the answer is it inertia?

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion, including changes in speed. When something slows down, its inertia can cause it to maintain its current speed unless acted upon by an external force.


What is the name of the force that slows down a man falling down with a parachute?

Air resistance, also known as drag, is the force that slows down a person falling with a parachute. This force acts in the opposite direction of the person's motion, creating friction between the person and the air molecules.


How does a parachute slow down?

A parachute slows down a person or object by creating drag as it catches the air while descending. This drag counters the force of gravity, which slows down the fall to a safe and controlled speed.


After opening the parachute do you go up?

No. In many movies it appears that someone opening a parachute flies up in the air. However, this is because of the perspective of the camera, which continues falling while the person slows down. Gravity continues to pull the person down to the ground, the parachute only slows them down.


Why does a person standing on a bus is thrown towards the rear of the bus as it starts to move forwards and to the front as it slows down?

This is known as inertia. When the bus is acted upon by an unbalanced force the inertia of the bus differs but not of the person who is standing. So the person continues to be moving forward even if the bus decelerates suddenly until friction acts upon the person or the person catch holds of something and vice versa when the bus accelerates.

Is excrement safe to eat after freezing?

Freezing bacteria doesn't kill it. It 'slows' it down. When I mean 'slows' it down I mean that by it going to sleep or something. as soon as the bacteria defrosts, it comes back to life.


What does obstacles mean?

The force that slows something down?

Friction is a force that opposes all movement to slow down a moving object.


How does a parachute slow down?

A parachute slows down a person or object by creating drag as it catches the air while descending. This drag counters the force of gravity, which slows down the fall to a safe and controlled speed.


What happens if Something is traveling at constant deceleration?

It slows to a rest and then starts moving in the opposite direction at constant acceleration in that direction.
