Question

resistance is a force that ______.
a. speeds objects up
b. slows objects down
c. changes an objects inertia
d. does not relate to objects motion

please select the best answer from the choices provided.

○ a
○ b
○ c
○ d

Explanation:

Resistance (like air resistance, friction) acts opposite to an object's motion, opposing it and thus slowing the object down. Option A is incorrect as resistance doesn't speed objects up. Option C is wrong because inertia depends on mass, and resistance doesn't change inertia. Option D is incorrect as resistance is directly related to an object's motion (opposing it). So the correct answer is B.

Answer:

B. slows objects down
