Question

State whether given statement is True or False.
If the net force acting on an object is in the positive x-direction, the object moves only in the positive x-direction.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

From newton's IInd law of motion, the nonzero external force implies non zero acceleration, hence the net acceleration must be in positive x- direction, however, the body may have uniform velocity along y and z directions.hence the statement is false, thus correct answer is B.
