Question

force acts on an object. Which option describes an action that could prevent the object from moving?(1 point)
Responses

a force applied in the same direction with the same magnitude at the same time
a force applied in the same direction with the same magnitude at the same time

a force applied in the opposite direction with a greater magnitude at the same time
a force applied in the opposite direction with a greater magnitude at the same time

a force applied in the opposite direction with the same magnitude at the same time
a force applied in the opposite direction with the same magnitude at the same time

a force applied in the same direction with a greater magnitude at the same time

Answer 1

To prevent an object from moving when a force acts on it, the option that describes an action that could achieve this is:

**a force applied in the opposite direction with a greater magnitude at the same time.**

This is because a greater opposing force will counteract the initial force, effectively preventing the object from moving.
