What is the net force acting on an object if balanced forces are applied?
-
A.
Infinite
-
B.
Equal to acceleration
-
C.
Equal to the mass of the object
-
D.
Zero
Correct Answer:
D. Zero
Explanation:
When multiple forces act on an object such that their combined effect is canceled out, they are considered balanced. In this state, the individual forces negate each other, resulting in a total net force of zero. According to Newton's First Law, an object under these conditions will maintain its current state of motion, meaning it will either remain stationary or continue moving at a constant velocity without any acceleration.
