Friction will never speed up an object?

Friction always opposes motion, so it can never speed up an object. Friction slows down or stops an object's motion by acting in the opposite direction. To speed up an object, a force stronger than friction, like a push or a pull, is needed.


The upper limit to the speed of an object with mass?

An object with mass might approach, but never reach, the speed of light.An object with mass might approach, but never reach, the speed of light.An object with mass might approach, but never reach, the speed of light.An object with mass might approach, but never reach, the speed of light.


If you drive onto a moving object how fast is your speed when you are on that moving object?

To drive onto a moving object (as, for example, up a ramp onto a moving trailer), you must be going faster than the object to move forward up the ramp, but when you come to a stop relative to the object, you will be moving with the object, so must be moving at the same speed. You must, in fact, decelerate to a stop on the object, or your faster approach speed would carry you through and beyond it.


What force speed up moving object?

A force can speed up a moving object by accelerating it in the direction of the force. This acceleration increases the object's velocity, causing it to move faster. The greater the force applied, the greater the acceleration and resulting increase in speed.


What two factors indicate the velocity of an object in motion?

The magnitude and direction of an object's velocity indicate the speed and movement of the object. The magnitude represents the speed of the object, while the direction depicts the object's movement in space.

Why does friction never speed up object?

You may be thinking of drag instead of friction. Friction between the floor and your foot increases your speed.

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.


What The build up of speed in a moving object?

Potential energy, which can be released as kinetic energy. Kinetic energy not the build up of speed in a moving object.


Can an object gain the velocity of light?

The word object is a very general term. A photon is also an object, and it does travel at the speed of light. But it never travels at any other speed, so it doesn't "gain" that speed. If we were to ask about objects made of atoms, then the answer is no, they can never accelerate to the velocity of light. They can get arbitrarily close, depending upon how much energy is used to accelerate them, but they can never actually get to the full speed of light.


What to componets make up the velocity of an object?

The speed of the object and its direction of motion.


Does friction speed up an object?

Friction does not speed up an object; it creates drag and slows it down.

What will happen when an object will try to travel at more than the speed of light?

Nobody knows for sure. We have never witnessed a physical object traveling faster than the speed of light.
