Question
An object experiences no acceleration. Which of the following cannot be true for the object?1 pointNo forces act on the objectMore than one force act on the objectA zero net force acts on the objectA single force acts on the object
Solution
The statement that cannot be true for the object is "No forces act on the object".
Here's why:
-
"No forces act on the object" - This cannot be true because if an object is at rest or moving at a constant velocity, it is experiencing a balanced force, not a lack of force.
-
"More than one force act on the object" - This can be true. If multiple forces are acting on an object but they are balanced (i.e., they add up to zero), the object will not accelerate.
-
"A zero net force acts on the object" - This can be true. If the net force (the sum of all forces acting on the object) is zero, the object will not accelerate. This is a direct application of Newton's First Law of Motion.
-
"A single force acts on the object" - This can be true. If a single force acts on an object but is balanced by another force of equal magnitude in the opposite direction, the object will not accelerate.
