Answer 1

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

The acceleration is zero.

According to Newton's first law of motion, if the net external force acting on an object is zero, the object will either remain at rest or continue to move at a constant velocity, which implies that the acceleration is zero.
