A constant force is applied to a body that is already moving. The force is directed at an angle of 60 degrees to the direction o

f the body's velocity. What is most likely to happen is that: the body will stop moving. the body will move in the direction of the force. the body's velocity will increase in magnitude but not change direction. the body will gradually change direction more and more toward that of the force while speeding up. the body will first stop moving and then move in the direction of the force.

Answer:

the body will gradually change direction more and more toward that of the force while speeding up.

Explanation:

From the question we were told that constant force is applied to a body that is already moving

if the applied force is in opposite direction to the motion of the object, there would be deceleration.

Whenever a force is applied to moving body , acceleration will occur in the body if the force and the motion of the body act in the same direction.

However in case of the question since the force is directed at an angle of 60 degrees to the direction of the body's velocity then the body will gradually change direction more and more toward that of the force while speeding up.
