  • Understanding Forces That Slow Objects: Friction & Air Resistance
    The two forces that can slow objects down are:

    * Friction: This force opposes motion between surfaces in contact. It can be caused by the roughness of the surfaces, and it converts kinetic energy into heat.

    * Air Resistance (Drag): This force opposes the motion of an object through a fluid (like air or water). It increases with the speed of the object and the surface area it presents to the fluid.
