Answer:

B - Driving straight down the highway at 60 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know by Newton's II law that net force on an object will follow the relation given as


F = ma

so here all the cases where object is accelerating then it means it is followed by some external force on it

so here we have

A - Accelerating a car from a stop sign

C - Lifting a chess pics off a board

D - Throwing a ball

all above cases objects are accelerating so it shows net force on them

while correct answer for no force on the object is

B - Driving straight down the highway at 60 mph
