Question

If a force is exerted on an object, it will definitely cause motion in the body.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Force:

1. Force is the product of the mass of the body and its acceleration.
2. We know that for a body to move from rest, it must have an acceleration.
3. Therefore, if a force is exerted on an object, the magnitude of the force must be such that it can start an acceleration.
4. This is not always the case, especially when the magnitude of the force applied is very low.
5. Hence, if a force is exerted on an object, it may or may not cause motion in the body.

Therefore, the given statement is false.
