Something is Set into Motion and its Reaction

The statement is true because when something is set into motion, it stops speeding up after it is pushed. As we know that when we throw the ball upwards then the ball goes in an upward direction which against gravitational force. At some point in the air, the ball stops for a fraction of second and then again come back in the downward direction with the help of a force of gravity. So whenever anything is set into the motion it can be stopped speeding up after it is pushed. If the ball is harder, then it will go faster.

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is proportional to the force applied to it:


F=ma

where F is the net force exerted on an object, m is its mass and a its acceleration.

From this law, we can see that if there is no net force on the object, the acceleration is zero. Therefore, when the push on the object stops, the acceleration of the object becomes zero, so it stops speeding up.
