Question

question 4

if a force acts constantly on a stationary object, the object will:

remain stationary.

accelerate in the direction of the force.

move at a constant speed in the direction of the force.

accelerate in the opposite direction of the force.

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion, \(F = ma\) (where \(F\) is force, \(m\) is mass, and \(a\) is acceleration). When a non - zero force acts on an object, there will be an acceleration. The direction of acceleration is the same as the direction of the net force. A stationary object has an initial velocity \(u = 0\). Since \(F
eq0\), \(a=\frac{F}{m}
eq0\). So the object will start to move and accelerate in the direction of the force.

Answer:

accelerate in the direction of the force.
