true. Friction DOES slow things down. In fact, if there was no friction once something started moving it wouldn't be able to stop
Friction can slow the things down. It's true.

What force slows things down?
Friction, when moving sideways. Upthrust when you are trying to go down. gravity when you are trying to go up
What causes something to slow down?
The weight of the objects or due to the force
What causes objects to slow down when they float on it or push against it?
Objects slow down when you slide them across the floor because of friction. With out it, nothing would ever stop sliding.
What does friction do to an objects motion?
slow it down, like you
What is a force that slows things down in the air?
Whenever any object moves through air (eg an aeroplane) it observes four forces 1 Drag force 2. lift force 3.weight of object 4.thrust created by the propellers or engine of the object. The drag force is directed opposite to the direction of moment of the object and slows the object down.
What force is responsible for the slowing down?
Friction is a force that will slow things down.
Does friction causes things to slow down?
yes
In what ways does friction affect motion?
Friction makes things slow down.
When energy is in motion what makes it slow down?
the motion that makes things slow down is friction
What does friction have to do with rockets?
Among other things, friction will tend to slow the rockets down.
What is meant by the force of friction?
Friction is a force, which (usually) tends to slow moving things down.
Why do carpets slow things down?
Because of the friction of the carpet. Friction: A force that opposes an object's motion.
Friction can cause objects to slow down what else can it do?
speed things up
Does friction cause a golf ball to slow down?
Yes, things such as longer grass and water on the greens will slow a ball down.
How does friction help a car slow down?
Friction is suppose to slow down things and yes it can. HOW DOES: both 2 surfaces collide with each other, causing heat. Heat will slow down the object by "meeting" with the 2 surfaces. I hope I helped :)
If you kick a soccer ball down the field what two things will cause it to slow down?
friction and gravity
What things can friction cause?
Friction can cause things to change direction, slow down or stop. It also produces heat, and in extreme cases sparks.
