Question
in order for an object to stop moving, the force must come from
the same direction as the objects motion
the opposite direction as the objects motion
any direction
no answer text provided.
According to Newton's second law of motion, \(F = ma\). To stop an object (decelerate it to \(v = 0\)), the acceleration \(a\) must be in the opposite direction of the object's velocity (motion). Since \(F\) and \(a\) are in the same direction ( \(F = ma\), \(m>0\) ), the force must be in the opposite direction of the object's motion.
