The opposing forces such as friction in case of solids and viscous force in case of fluids are always present in the natural world.

a force can cause a resting object to move, or it can accelerate a moving object by changing the object's speed or direction.

in a shorter way to say is friction

What word refers to the resistance of motion produced when one object slides over another?

The word you're looking for is.... friction


What is the definition of air resistant?

The term 'air resistance' is a term for how much air drag there is on a object moving through air; a word for contact force that opposes the motion of objects moving in air.


What is the kinetic?

The theory that states that all atoms are constantly moving


What is the force that keeps things from moving?

A force that maintains motion is called inertia. This is the same as to what is normally referred to as momentum.


What word defines newton's first law of motion?

Inertia. This is the word that best defines Newton's first law of motion, which states that an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion with a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force.


What word is a force that pushes an object?

The word would be "push." It is a force that acts on an object in the direction of the force and away from the object applying it.


Why do you have motion?

because everything around has motion because the word motion comes from the word movement when we move its motion but we do not see motion so therefore motion is a force just like gravity because gravity is what pulls every object to the ground. when we push or pull it is force and that is motion pulling or moving an object is motion.


How is the word "work" used in science?

In science, the word "work" is used to describe the transfer of energy that results in a change in the position or motion of an object. It is a measure of the force applied to an object over a distance.


What word best descibes a push or pull on an object?

A push or a pull on an object is a force on that object.


Does it take an increasing force to cause an increasing speed?

Yes. It is one of the laws of motion (the second law) that says that an object in motion will not change its motion unless acted on by and outside force. You'll have to add more foce to cause the object to speed up. Correction: No. The key word in the question is "increasing." A constant force will cause a constant rate of acceleration. Increasing force will cause an increasing rate of acceleration.


What word is used to describe when a force cause an object to move?

The word used to describe when a force causes an object to move is "work." Work is the product of the force applied to an object and the distance the object is moved in the direction of the force.


What is the definition of the word 'work' in physics?

The word 'work' in physics is defined as the transfer of energy from one material body to another. It is a body's displacement in space caused by an external force resulting in motion. If a force is applied but there is no displacement or motion, then no work is done. Also work is not done if a force is applied perpendicular to the body's displacement. Work is expressed in units such as joules or foot-pounds.
