Question

An object experience a net zero external unbalanced force. Is it possible for the object to be travelling with a non-zero velocity? If yes, state the conditions that must be placed on the magnitude and direction of the velocity. If no, provide a reason.

Answer 1

By Newton's First law of motion, a body remains in the state of rest or uniform motion unless an external force is applied on it. So, if the body has some initial velocity and net force applied is zero, it will continue to move with the same initial velocity.
