Question

An object has balanced forces acting on it. Which of the following describes the result these balanced forces have on the object?(1 point) Responses It speeds up in the same direction or slows down. It speeds up in the same direction or slows down. It speeds up in the same direction or moves at constant speed. It speeds up in the same direction or moves at constant speed. It remains at rest or speeds up in the same direction. It remains at rest or speeds up in the same direction. It remains at rest or moves at constant speed in the same direction.

Answer 1

The correct response is: It remains at rest or moves at constant speed in the same direction.

When balanced forces act on an object, the net force is zero, meaning there is no change in motion. The object will either remain at rest or continue moving at a constant speed in the same direction.
