Explanation of motion changes

Forces such as friction and gravity constantly affect motion in everyday life by changing how fast objects move and which direction they go. Friction, like the resistance between a car’s brakes and its wheels or between shoes and the floor, makes moving objects slow down or stop; when a cyclist applies the brakes the bike slows because the tires rub against the road and convert motion into heat. Gravity is the pull that draws objects toward Earth, so when you drop a ball it accelerates downward and gains speed until air resistance begins to act on it. An applied force, such as pushing a shopping cart, makes the cart speed up in the direction of the push, but friction and air resistance eventually reduce its motion if the push stops. Air resistance or drag acts opposite to motion for things moving through the air, which is why a falling leaf floats slowly while a stone drops quickly. Overall, whether an object speeds up, slows down, or changes direction depends on the net effect of all forces acting on it: the stronger the unbalanced force, the greater the change in motion.
