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.

When the net force is zero, according to Newton's second law (F = ma), the acceleration (a) must also be zero. This means that the object is either at rest or moving with a constant velocity.
