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

Question

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

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

Answer 1

To prevent the object from moving, you would need to apply a force that counters the initial force acting on the object. The correct option is:

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

This option would ensure that the net force acting on the object is in the opposite direction, effectively preventing motion.
