The velocity is decreasing.
The velocity is decreasing.

The acceleration is zero.
The acceleration is zero.

The acceleration is increasing

Answer 1

If the total net force on a system is zero and the mass remains constant, this means that:

The acceleration is zero.

According to Newton's first law of motion (the law of inertia), an object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion continues moving at a constant velocity if the net external force acting on it is zero. Therefore, the correct answer is "The acceleration is zero."
