Question

which statement describes the motion of an object when the net force is zero? (1 point)
the object changes direction.
the object is slowing down.
the object is speeding up.
the object is at rest.

Explanation:

According to Newton's first law of motion, when the net force on an object is zero, the object's velocity remains constant. If it was already moving, it continues moving at a constant velocity (no speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction). If it was at rest, it remains at rest. Among the options, only "The object is at rest" is a valid possibility when net force is zero (the other options imply a change in velocity which would require a non - zero net force).

Answer:

The object is at rest.
