Question

which situation describes an object that is accelerating? (1 point)
when the net force is zero
when the velocity is constant
when the velocity increases
when equal forces act simultaneously

Explanation:

Acceleration is defined as a change in velocity. When the velocity increases, there is a change in velocity. According to Newton's second law \(F = ma\), if the net force is zero (\(F=0\)), then \(a = 0\) (no acceleration). When velocity is constant (\(\Delta v=0\)), acceleration \(a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}=0\). When equal forces act simultaneously (assuming they are balanced, net force \(F = 0\)), there is no acceleration.

Answer:

when the velocity increases
