Question

If the net force on an object is acting in the direction of its motion, its speed decreases.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

If a net force is applied on an object moving with some speed, in the direction of its motion, its speed increases. For example, for a ball dropped from a roof, direction of motion and direction of force are in the downward direction. The speed of the ball keeps increasing until it hits the ground.
