Question

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

please select the best answer from the choices provided.
○ a
○ b

Explanation:

Resistance (like friction) opposes motion, so it slows objects. Option A is wrong (resistance doesn't speed up). Inertia depends on mass, so C is wrong. D is wrong as resistance relates to motion. So B is correct.

Answer:

B. slows objects down
