Recall some of your experiences. A ball rolling along the ground gradually slows down and finally comes to rest. When we stop pedalling a bicycle, it gradually slows down and finally comes to rest once its engine is switched off. Similarly, a boat comes to rest if stop rowing it. Can you add some more such experiences?
What causes a change in their state of motion? Can you guess the direction in which the force must be acting in each case?
