A force can make moving objects?

A force will cause a moving object to continue moving. It will also cause the object to move farther and faster until friction slows it down.


An object moving at a constant velocity will?

... continue to do that, until a force is exerted on it.


What is the property of matter tat keeps a moving object moving in a straight line?

It's Newton's first law of motion: "An oject in motion will stay in motion (with the same velocity) until an outside force acts upon it and an object at rest will stay at rest until an outside force acts upon it."


What keeps an object moving?

A moving object will stay moving until a force is applied to that object in the opposing direction. To stay moving is an objects natural state. Here on earth, we have many forces that can act on an object to eventually bring it to a halt (relative to the ground). Air friction (wind resistance), rolling resistance, good old fashion friction, and by a force placed on it by other matter (as in the force applied by the ground to a rain drop as it finally hits the ground). So really the question is, what keeps an object stationary. At the moment I'm moving really fast in relation to the sun, but not moving in relation to the ground I'm sitting on. Congratulations, you now understand the "theory of relativity".


Does a moving object travel in a line until a force changes its direction?

Yes. A moving object travels in a straight line at constant speed until a net force acts on it. However, the direction will only change if the force is in a different direction then the motion.


Inertia keeps your vehicle moving until a force slows it down like?

applying the brake


What keeps an object in motion?

newtons 3rd law object in motion remains in motion until force is acted upon Enertia.


Why do you keep moving forward when you slam on the braks on your bicycle?

Because of inertiaAn object will keep moving until an outside force is applied.


If you kick a soccer ball on a field of grass it will stop because?

Friction with the grass and air will eventually bring the ball to a stop.


Explain how friction affects the motion of an object?

Friction is speed's worst enemy. If no forces act on an object, it is stationary. If a force acts on an object, it keeps going forever until another force acts on it (such as friction!!!).


If you know the constant velocity of a moving object what can you predict?

You can predict its motion until some force acts on it.


If an object is not moving it will not move until?

It will not until an unbalanced force acts on it. Another force is used against it creating an equal and opposite reaction.(Newton's Third Law)
