Which statement describes the motion of an object when the net force is zero?

Question

answers:
The object is slowing down.
The object is speeding up.
The object is at rest.
The object changes direction.

Answer 1

When the net force is zero, the object is either at rest or moving at a constant velocity. Since the options provided do not specifically mention constant velocity, the most appropriate answer from the choices given is:

The object is at rest.

However, it's important to note that an object could also be in motion at a constant speed in a straight line when the net force is zero, but that option is not offered here.
