(Write a R.A.C.E.S/CER) make a claim about what happened when the forces on the object were balanced. Use your observations as evidence to support your claim. What was the net force in this situation?

Question

(Balanced forces were 150 N (left force) and 150 N (right force), 3 sentence answer)

Answer 1

Claim: When the forces on the object were balanced, it maintained a constant state of motion, either remaining at rest or moving at a constant velocity.

Evidence: In this situation, the left force of 150 N and the right force of 150 N were equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, resulting in no net force acting on the object.

Reasoning: Since the net force was 0 N, as the forces canceled each other out, the object did not accelerate or change its state of motion, illustrating Newton's first law of motion.
