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 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 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

Answer 1

The correct option that describes an action that could prevent the object from moving is:

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

When two forces of equal magnitude act in opposite directions, they balance each other out, resulting in a net force of zero, which can prevent the object from moving.
