"Speeding up" or "slowing down" are terms which describe an acceleration of an
object. Newton's second law of motion (F = ma) defines quantitatively the
relationship between force and accelerations. Thus an object that experiences no
force also experiences no acceleration and does not slow down or speed up.
However, consider a particle moving in a circle with constant speed v. The particle is
neither speeding up nor slowing down, but it DOES experience a force and thus an
acceleration (there must be a force which keeps the particle moving in a circle
instead of flying off in one direction). This force, however, is always pointing
perpendicular to the direction that the particle is moving.
So in general, an object that neither speeds up nor slows down is one which
experiences no force in the direction that it is moving.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Does friction act to slow down an object or speed up an object?
Friction acts to slow down the motion of an object. It opposes the relative motion between two contacting surfaces, reducing the speed of the object in motion.
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.
Acceleration will only speed up an object True or false?
False. At least the way "acceleration" is described in physics, acceleration involves any change in velocity - so the "accelerating" object can speed up, slow down, or simply change direction.
What can speed up or slow down a moving object?
Factors that can speed up a moving object include applying a force in the direction of motion and reducing friction. Factors that can slow down a moving object include applying a force in the opposite direction of motion and increasing friction.
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.
What causes an object to slowdown or speed- up?
An object can only slow down, speed up, or change direction, if there is a net force acting on the object.
Does friction act to slow down an object or speed up an object?
Friction acts to slow down the motion of an object. It opposes the relative motion between two contacting surfaces, reducing the speed of the object in motion.
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.
The more ------ an object has the harder it is to slow it down speed it up or turn it?
mass
What are the three way that an object can accelerate?
speed up slow down turn
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.
What can happen to the velocity of an object when unbalanced forces act on it?
it can slow down or speed up.
What causes an object slow down or speed up?
an external net force acting on it
Acceleration will only speed up an object True or false?
False. At least the way "acceleration" is described in physics, acceleration involves any change in velocity - so the "accelerating" object can speed up, slow down, or simply change direction.
Why do Slow down and slow up mean the same?
I think you mean slow down and speed up. slow down =slow, speed up=fast
What can speed up or slow down a moving object?
Factors that can speed up a moving object include applying a force in the direction of motion and reducing friction. Factors that can slow down a moving object include applying a force in the opposite direction of motion and increasing friction.
