Question

According to Newton's 1st Law of Motion, a moving object will move forever at a constant rate in the same direction. Why do objects stop moving?

Please help!

Answer 1

See below ~

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's 1st Law of Motion : "An object in motion (or rest) will stay in motion (or rest) unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

• Objects stop moving due to the application of force
• An ball rolling on the road stops due to the frictional force of the road
• An apple falls from the tree due to gravitational force
• We can alter the motion of a football by applying force

Answer 2

Object stop moving when the force which is friction that acts to resist sliding between two touch-ing surfaces is not present
