Question

a particle traveling through space is being accelerated by a 140 n force. all of a sudden, the particle encounters a second force of 140 n in the opposite direction of the first force. with both forces now acting on the particle, what happens?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The two forces are exactly opposite to each other and they are anti parallel to each other. The net force on the particle is zero. That means acceleration is zero. So we are asked what will happen after this particular force is acted on the particle. So now with the net force, acceleration is zero. So its velocity will not increase. It means the particle will move with constant velocity.
