Answer 1

If the total net force on a system is zero and the mass remains constant, the correct statement is:

The acceleration is zero.

This is based on Newton's first law of motion, which states that an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion with a constant velocity if the net force acting on it is zero. Thus, if the net force is zero, the acceleration must also be zero.
