Question

When it is known that a net force is operating on an object, it is known that the object is:

• A. moving with constant velocity
• B. losing mass
• C. at rest
• D. being accelerated
• E. Gaining weight

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

being accelerated

Second law of motion gives ,

$F=ma$ , where $F$ is force and $m$ is mass and $a$ is acceleration

given that net force is operating on object , as the mass of object remains constant therefore it is being accelerated.

And acceleration will be given by $a=\frac{F}{m}$
