The object is speeding up.
The object is speeding up.

The object changes direction.
The object changes direction.

The object is slowing down.
The object is slowing down.

The object is at rest.

Answer 1

When the net force acting on an object is zero, it means that either the object is at rest and remains at rest or it is moving at a constant velocity (not speeding up or slowing down and not changing direction). The correct response is:

The object is at rest.

However, it's also important to note that if the object were already in motion, it would continue to move at a constant velocity.
