The law of inertia (Newton's First Law of Motion) explains that an object at rest tends to stay at rest, and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and direction unless acted upon by an external force. When you stop pushing the box, the friction between the box and the surface it is on slows it down and eventually brings it to a stop.

What causes a box you are pushing across the floor to stop when you stop pushing?
The box stops moving because of inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion. When you stop pushing the box, there is no external force acting on it to keep it moving, so it comes to a stop due to inertia.
What causes a box you are pushing across the floor to stop when to stop pushing?
Static Friction
Why are passengers thrown forward when a moving vehicle suddenly stop?
Passengers are thrown forward when a moving vehicle suddenly stops due to inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object in motion to stay in motion, so when the vehicle stops suddenly, the passengers continue moving forward until they are stopped by the seat belt or another object.
What happens if particles stop moving?
If particles were to stop moving completely, all processes that depend on particle motion and interaction, such as chemical reactions, heat transfer, and electrical conductivity, would cease. This would result in a state of absolute zero temperature, where all molecular motion stops.
What force stops an object from moving?
The force that stops an object from moving is typically friction. Friction occurs when two surfaces rub against each other, creating a force that opposes the motion of the object. This force eventually brings the object to a stop.

Can you stop motion?
Motion will quite often stop by itself, due to friction. You can also stop it by pushing backward.
Is pushing something until it stops a balanced or un balanced force?
During the time, you're pushing it, the forces are unbalanced. Once you stop, they are balanced. Unbalanced forces result in a change in motion, even if it is slowing it to a stop. Balanced forces produce no change.
Why are passengers thrown forward when a moving vehicle suddenly stop?
Passengers are thrown forward when a moving vehicle suddenly stops due to inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object in motion to stay in motion, so when the vehicle stops suddenly, the passengers continue moving forward until they are stopped by the seat belt or another object.
What happens when a rocket stops pushing a person in space Galileo thery?
Person would stop according to Aristotle. According to Galileo the person would keep moving.
What starts an object moving or stops it if it's already moving?
what starts to move an object is force because it's pushing on the object and what stop's the obect from moveing is force too because if the force is going the oppisit way its going to stop the object.

The force that stops an object from moving is typically friction. Friction occurs when two surfaces rub against each other, creating a force that opposes the motion of the object. This force eventually brings the object to a stop.
Why do passengers in a car fly forward when the car comes to a sudden stop?
When the car vis moving u are at the same pace with but a sudden brake stops the motion of the car but not yours An object in motion tends to stay in motion.
If newton's first law of motion is correct why do moving object on earth eventually stop moving?
Moving objects on Earth eventually stop due to friction and other resistive forces acting against their motion. Even though an object in motion tends to stay in motion according to Newton's first law, the presence of frictional forces causes the object to gradually lose kinetic energy and slow down until it eventually stops.
Why do you need small force to maintain a heavy object in motion?
Inertia is the resistance to change of an object in motion. In other words, an object at rest wants to stay at rest, and an object in motion wants to stay in motion. this is why it might take a person's whole body strength to start pushing a car down the road from a dead stop, but once it is in motion, it may only take one hand to keep it moving. Once you stop pushing the car, it slows and eventually stops because the frictional forces acting against the car's motion are greater than those keeping it moving.
