Question

A force acts on an object. Which option describes an action that could prevent the object from moving?(1 point) Responses 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 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 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 opposite direction with a greater magnitude at the same time

Answer 1

To prevent the object from moving when a force is acting on it, you would need to apply a force that either counteracts or exceeds the applied force. Therefore, the correct option would be:

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

This option would effectively prevent the object from moving because it would create a net force in the opposite direction, overcoming the original force acting on the object.
