true or false

Question

an object can travel in circles even if the net force of the object experiences is zero.

Answer 1

True. An object can travel in circles even if the net force on the object is zero. This is because the net force is the vector sum of all the individual forces acting on an object, and for circular motion, there is a centripetal force directed towards the center of the circle. Even if there is no net force in the direction of motion, there can still be a perpendicular centripetal force that keeps the object moving in a circle.
