Question

An unbalanced force acts in the direction of motion of a body. Then the body:

• A. Must come to rest.
• B. Must be accelerated.
• C. Must move with uniform velocity.
• D. Must move along a circle.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Must be accelerated.

An unbalanced force means the resultant force is not equal to zero. Therefore the unbalanced force propels the body to move and therefore it must be accelerated.
