Which statements are true about forces? Select the two correct answers. Decreasing the mass of an object requires more force to move it. Decreasing the mass of an object requires more force to move it. Only one force can act on an object at once. Only one force can act on an object at once. It would take longer for a small force to move a large object a certain distance. It would take longer for a small force to move a large object a certain distance. A greater force can stop an object in motion over a certain distance.

Answer 1

The two correct statements about forces from your options are:

1. A greater force can stop an object in motion over a certain distance. - This statement is true because a greater force can exert a larger deceleration on an object, allowing it to stop more quickly.

2. It would take longer for a small force to move a large object a certain distance. - This statement is also true. A small force may not be sufficient to accelerate a large object quickly, so it would indeed take longer to move it over a certain distance compared to using a larger force.

The other statements are incorrect. Decreasing the mass of an object actually requires less force to move it, and multiple forces can act on an object simultaneously.
