An object has a force of 10 newtons from the right and 17 newtons from the left. Once the object starts moving toward the right, an additional force of 7 newtons is applied from the right. What can you conclude about the direction of motion of the object after the application of the additional force? The object will continue moving toward the right. The object will slow, stop, and then begin to move toward the left. The object will come to a halt. The object will accelerate in its motion to the right.

The object will come to a halt.

Resultant force at start:17-10=7 to the left
When additional force is added to the right,it balances the forces acting in the object.

7N to the right and 7N to the left suggests that the object will come to a halt as it is in equilibrium.
