Five different forces act on an object. Is it possible for the net force on the object to be zero? Explain

No. If there are forces on an object, they need to have a counterforce, otherwise the object won't be zero. Since there are only 5 forces, the 5th force has no counterforce, resulting in movement or reforming the object.

Of course it is !

-- Whatever the resultant of four of the forces is, one more force
with the same magnitude in exactly the opposite direction makes
the overall net force zero.

-- Example: 
4 cheerleaders are in a tug-of-war against the captain of the football team.
The flag in the middle of the rope is stationary.
He's holding off all 4 of the skinny girls.
The net force on the flag is zero.

Vika [28.1K]
The speed and distances are directly proportional. Use ratios to solve for vertical y-distance. The ratio of x-distance west to y-distance north equals the x-velocity to y-velocity.

x/y = vx/vy
41/y = 8.6/5.2
41/y = 1.65
41/1.65 = y
24.8 m = y
