Question

5.What happens to the momentum of a moving object, if a force is applied on the object from the opposite direction? State the reason for your answer.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

force acting for a given amount of time will change an object's momentum. ... If the force acts opposite the object's motion, it slows the object down. If a force acts in the same direction as the object's motion, then the force speeds the object up. Either way, a force will change the velocity of an object.

Answer 2

If an object is moving and there is an applied force in the opposite direction of the motion, the object will decelerate or slow down. If you throw a ball up at a given velocity, it will slow down as it travels upward due to the force of gravity.
