What will slow a dragster car down?

A parachute.


What force acts on a parachute of a dragster to slow it down?

Air resistance, also known as drag, acts on the parachute of a dragster to slow it down. As the parachute deploys and opens up, it catches the air and creates a drag force that opposes the motion of the dragster, ultimately helping to slow it down.


What types of unbalanced forces cause objects to slow down?

Frictional forces such as air resistance, rolling resistance, and surface friction can cause objects to slow down. Additionally, external forces like a force pushing or pulling in the opposite direction of the object's motion can also cause it to decelerate.


Why a parachute is attached with dragster?

The dragster needs a parachute in order to slow down at the end of its run. Brakes alone are not enough. Its the same thing as with the Space Shuttle when landing.


What two forces slow rocket down when out of fuel?

inertia and friction are the two forces that slow down a rocket


What happend to forces when thing speed up or slow down?

Nothing happens to the forces. The forces are what makes the thing speed up or slow down.


What are three ways that unbalanced forces can cause an object to change its motion?

Unbalanced forces can cause an object to speed up, slow down, or change direction by pushing or pulling it in a certain direction.


What forces slow a ball down?

Friction.


When a marbel is rolled along a floor what force or forces cause it to slow down and stop?

Friction is the force that causes a marble to slow down and eventually stop when rolled along a floor. As the marble moves, it experiences opposing forces from the floor's surface, generating heat and slowing down the marble's motion.


What three ways do unbalanced forces cause an object to change its motion?

speed, slow down or change direction or some combination thereof.


What forces slow you down while sliding on snow?

FRICTION


What type of forces cause a change in speed direction or both?

External forces such as friction, gravity, and applied forces can cause a change in speed, direction, or both of an object. These forces can either speed up, slow down, or change the direction of an object's motion, depending on their magnitude and direction.
