Question

if the total net force on a system is zero, assuming the mass remains constant, which must be true? (1 point)
the acceleration is zero.
the velocity is decreasing.
the velocity is increasing.
the acceleration is increasing.

Explanation:

Newton's second law states \( F_{\text{net}} = ma \). If \( F_{\text{net}} = 0 \) and mass \( m
eq 0 \), acceleration \( a = 0 \). Zero acceleration means velocity is constant (not increasing/decreasing, and acceleration itself doesn't change).

Answer:

The acceleration is zero.
