What is the force that causes moving objects to slow down?

The force that causes moving objects to slow down is called friction. It occurs when two surfaces are in contact and resist the relative motion between them. Friction converts kinetic energy into heat, causing objects to lose speed.


What does friction do to an objects motion?

slow it down, like you


What causes objects to slow down when no longer pushed?

Objects slow down when no longer pushed due to the presence of forces such as friction and air resistance. These forces act in the opposite direction to the object's motion, causing it to lose speed and eventually come to a stop.


What opposes motion and causes moving objects to slow down?

concervation of momentum concervation of momentum 2nd Answer: Well, not really, no. Friction causes moving objects to slow.


What causes something to slow down?

The weight of the objects or due to the force


How does friction effects speed?

Friction will reduce an object's speed.


What causes the moon to speed up or slow down in orbit?

time of the season


Does gravity force all objects downward at the same speed?

Gravity causes all objects to accelerate at the same rate in a vacuum. In air there is air resistance which can slow some objects down eg a parachute. So, yes, in a vacuum all objects reach the same speed in the same time period.


What type of force opposes motion and causes objects to slow down?

Friction forces.


What causes an object slow down or speed up?

an external net force acting on it


What force causes things to slow down due to contact?

Friction is the force that causes things to slow down due to contact. When two surfaces rub against each other, friction generates resistance that opposes the motion, ultimately causing the objects to slow down.


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.
