What happens to the speed of a moving object when it.decelerate?

Decelerate means to slow down.


What are three things that friction can do to a moving object?

Friction can slow down the object's motion, decrease its speed, and ultimately stop the object from moving.


When an object is moving how can we make the object speed up or slow down?

By applying a force in the relevant direction against the object.


Do balanced or unbalanced forces cause a moving object to continue moving at a constant speed?

A balanced force will not cause a moving object to change its constant speed. It's an unbalanced force that would either speed up or slow down the moving object.


How difficult it is to slow down or stop an object?

The difficulty of slowing down or stopping an object depends on various factors such as the object's mass, speed, and the force applied. Generally, it can be more challenging to slow down or stop an object that is heavier or moving faster. Adequate braking distance is important to safely slow down or stop an object to avoid accidents.


How does the inertia of a moving object determine its ability to speed or slow down?

The inertia of a moving object determines its resistance to changes in its state of motion. An object with more inertia will be harder to speed up or slow down compared to an object with less inertia. This is because a higher inertia requires more force to change the object's velocity.


How can you make the object speed up or slow down?

Making an object speed up or slow down always requires a force.-- To make the object speed up, apply a force to it in the same directionthat it's moving.-- To make it slow down, apply a force to it in the opposite direction.


Can slow down speed up or stop the motion of an object?

That could be one description of "force" or "net force."Notice that it can also change the direction in which an object is moving,without changing its speed at all.


Ways of slowing down a moving object?

You can slow down a moving object by applying a force in the opposite direction of its motion, increasing friction between the object and the surface it is moving on, or utilizing a drag force like air resistance to decrease its speed.


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."


How fast or slow an object is moving is its?

Speed. (not velocity)


What kind of force can slow down a moving object?

Friction is a force that can slow down a moving object. It is the resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another. It acts in the opposite direction to the object's motion.
