Question

An object is moving north at a constant speed. A force of 5 N begins to push the object east at the same moment that a

force of 5 N begins to push it west. What will happen to the object?
The object will turn toward the west.
The object will slow down and stop.
The object will accelerate toward the east.
The object will continue moving north.

Answer 1

Answer:I feel the object will continue moving north

Explanation Well in this example an object is moving north at a constant velocity so it has no acceleration, just uniform velocity.

Now if a force of 5N pushes the object eastwards while another force counter acts this force by pushing the object with a force of 5N from the west as well.

So, the object continues moving north as both forces counter act each other which is in a common man's language as both of them sorta neutralize each other effect in a very very informal definition
