Question

Which of the following can be a possibility for a body which is at rest when no force is being applied on it?

• A. There will be a change in the shape of the body.
• B. The body will start moving with increased speed.
• C. The body will remain at rest.
• D. The body will break into pieces.

Answer 1

The correct option is C The body will remain at rest.

For a body to experience any change in its shape, size, state of motion and direction, application of force is necessary. Here it is given that the body is at rest and no force is being applied on it. Therefore, the body will remain at rest until and unless some force is applied on it.
