Question

Which statement describes the motion of an object when the net force is zero?(1 point)
Responses

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

The object changes direction.
The object changes direction.

The object is at rest.
The object is at rest.

The object is speeding up.

Answer 1

If the net force is zero, the acceleration is zero, so the object's velocity is constant. That means it could be at rest or moving at constant speed in a straight line — it is not speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction.
