Question

State whether given statement is True or False.
An object experiences a net zero external unbalanced force. Is it possible for the object to be travelling with a non-zero velocity?

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Yes, when external unbalanced force on an object is zero, the object can travel with a non-zero velocity. Such a motion will be a uniform motion. The conditions for this are:
(i) Magnitude of velocity must be constant.
(ii) Direction of velocity must be constant i.e., it travels in a straight line without change in direction.
