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

Why do objects travel at the same speed in space?

Objects in space travel at the same speed because there is no air resistance or friction to slow them down. Once an object is in motion in space, it will continue moving at a constant speed unless acted upon by an external force.


Does inertia stop a ball that has been kicked?

No, inertia does not stop a ball once it has been kicked. Inertia is the tendency of an object to remain in motion unless acted upon by an external force, so the ball will continue moving until another force (like friction or gravity) slows it down or stops it.


How does newtons first law take part in a pinewood derby car?

Newton's first law states that an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion, unless acted upon by an external force. In the context of a Pinewood Derby car, the car will remain at rest until a force, such as pushing it or gravity, acts upon it to put it in motion. Once in motion, the car will continue moving until another force, like friction or air resistance, slows it down.


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.


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.

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.


The first law of motion explains that forces are required to initiate motion for objects at?

rest, and that once an object is in motion, it will remain in motion unless acted upon by an external force. This principle is often referred to as inertia.

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.


Why a continues unbalanced force is not required to continue the motion of an object?

because after the object is moving, and the forces are balanced, the force trying to slow it down (like friction, or air resistance) is equil to the one moving it, so it neither speeds up nor slows down. the same applies to the force trying to move the object.

How does motion occur in outer space?

Motion in outer space occurs through the interaction of gravity and the initial momentum of objects. Once set in motion, objects in space will continue to move in a straight line unless acted upon by another force (such as gravity from a planet or star). The absence of air resistance in space allows objects to travel at constant speeds and maintain their velocity until another force intervenes.
