Question

When traveling downhill it takes longer to stop and more blank to change direction?

Answer 1

When traveling downhill it takes longer to stop and more FORCE to change direction.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know by the First law given by Newton is Law of inertia

As per law of inertia we know that object will not change its state of motion until and unless some net unbalanced force will act on it.

So here when we move downhill then due top gravity our speed increases to a large value due to which our state of motion and momentum is large.

So due to large momentum we requires large amount of force to change the state of motion.

so here correct answer will be

When traveling downhill it takes longer to stop and more FORCE to change direction.

Answer 2

At same speed going up hill or on straight road, you will have to exert more effort stopping as the force of gravity is in the direction of your descent due to the inclination. This is opposite when going uphill and neutral on straight road.
