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

Question

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 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

Answer 1

The 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 on an object, they cancel each other out, resulting in no net force on the object, which prevents it from moving.
