This depends on the medium which they're travelling through. i.e Solid (ground), Liquid (water) or Gas (air)

Along the ground, the force slowing the object is Friction

In water, the force is Drag or water resistance

In the air, the force is also drag. or Air resistance

What is the different between linear motion and circular motion?

Linear motion is motion in a straight line, such as a dragster heading down the track, or a person walking down the sidewalk. Circular motion is motion in a circle, such as a yo-yo swung around someones head, or a car making a turn. In physics, while these two categories of motion exist, in most cases outside textbook examples, an objects motion will include both types of motion at once.


If an object in motion will stay in motion what causes a bullet shot into fall?

its the laws of motion. once a thing like the bullet has lost its force, it will stop moving and slowly go down its the laws of motion. once a thing like the bullet has lost its force, it will stop moving and slowly go down


A small wagon rolls down a ramp and comes to a stop what forces act to stop the wagon?

Gravity pulls the wagon down the ramp. Friction from the tires on the ground slows the wagon. Wind resistance (friction from the air) slows the wagon as well. Gravity also helps slow the wagon down once it is off the ramp and the wagon is rolling on a level surface.


Once an object is in motion what is an example of a force that will slow it down?

Friction. Air Resistance or Water Resistance, depending on where you are and what your doing.


What kind of friction slows falling objects?

You're fishing for "air resistance" but your description isn't correct. Air resistance doesn't "slow" a falling object. Once the object has built up to some particular speed of fall, air resistance prevents it from falling any faster.

How do objects start moving?

Objects start out as either a rest or moving. If they are at rest, they require a force to be applied for them to start moving. If they are moving, they require a force to either slow them down or to make them stop. That means that once something starts moving, it will move forever, unless a force slows it down. The catch is that the force can be friction.


Is it bad to smoke weed once?

tecnially no its slows down heart rate but gives u asensation


Why time slows down as you start moving faster?

Time seems to slow down because you do more things at once, but it doesn't change.

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.


Why do your hands not grow as they are very small?

Your hands do grow with you as you age. But once you're done with puberty then usually the growing slows down or stops.

Conflicting ideas of Galileo and Aristotle about motion?

af Example: a hammer falls faster than a feather Galileo: Proved that an objects mass has no effect on its rate of acceleration as it falls. What causes things to fall at different rates here on earth is air resistance. Aristotle: Believed that heavier objects fall faster than lighter object af Example: a hammer falls faster than a feather Galileo: Proved that an objects mass has no effect on its rate of acceleration as it falls.

How do you open wheels on airplane in battlefield 3?

find a large enough space of flat land, slow down, and slowly get close to the ground. once the jet slows drastically you can land safely.


How do you eradicate greenbrier?

It's very tough to kill once established. Roundup just slows it down for a while. Unfortunately the only way I've found that works is to dig up and remove the rhizomes.
