Question
What may happen to the motion of an object when a force is applied in the direction opposite to its motion?
- Its direction of motion changes
- Its speed increases
-
Its speed decreases
- None of the above
Hint:
The push or pull experienced by an object with the mass that causes the change in velocity is called force.
The correct answer is: Its speed decreases
- The push or pull experienced by an object with the mass that causes the change in velocity is called force.
- If the force is applied in the direction opposite to the direction of motion, then it results in a decrease in the speed of the object in the same direction of motion.
