Question

An object at rest cannot remain at rest unless which of the following holds?View Available Hint(s)An object at rest cannot remain at rest unless which of the following holds?The net force acting on it is zero.The net force acting on it is constant and nonzero.There are no forces at all acting on it.There is only one force acting on it.

Answer 1

Answer:

True The net force must be zero for the acceleration to be zero

Explanation:

In order to analyze the statements of this problem we propose your solution.

First let's look at Newton's first, which stable that every object is at rest or with constant speed unless something takes it out of this state (acceleration)

Now let's look at the second postulate, which says that force is related to the product of the mass of a body and its acceleration.

As a result of these two laws, for a body is a constant velocity the summation force on it must be zero.

Now we can analyze the statements given.

True The net force must be zero for the acceleration to be zero

False. If the force is different from zero, there is acceleration that changes the speeds

False. There may be forces, but the sum of them must be zero

False. If a force acts, the acceleration is different from zero and the speed changes
