Question

The forces on an object are displayed in the picture above; there is no net force.

What is true of the motion of the object?

A. The object must be at rest.

B. The object may be speeding up in any one of the four directions.

C. The object is not accelerating.

Answer 1

A) True B) False C) True

Step-by-step explanation:

To understand this concept we need to plan the equations related to the movement in the X-axis and the Y-axis thus we can see the behavior of the particle under the different forces.

In the attached image we can check the equation related with the forces.

A) The sum of the forces is 0 in both axis, therefore there is no movement of the particle.

B) In the previous point, we figure out that there is no movement and therefore no acceleration effect.

C) If a body or particle is not accelerating it will be in equilibrium or traveling at a constant velocity.
