A. the direction the object is moving in will not change.
B. the acceleration of the object will be 0 m/s2
Explanation:
We can answer this problem by using Newton's second law of motion:
where
is the net force acting on an object
m is the mass of the object
a is its acceleration
In this problem, all the forces acting on the object are balanced, therefore the net force is zero:
which means that also the acceleration is zero:
Acceleration is equal to the rate of change of velocity: therefore, zero acceleration means that the velocity of the object does not change. We can now analyze the given statements:
A. the direction the object is moving in will not change. --> TRUE, because the velocity is not changing.
B. the acceleration of the object will be 0 m/s2 --> TRUE, as we stated above
c. the object will not be in motion. --> FALSE: we just know that its velocity is constant, but it can be different from zero
D. the velocity of the object will be 0 m/s. --> FALSE, for the same reason stated in C
