Question

1. a student says, \objects only have one force acting on them at a time.\ explain why this is incorrect, and give an example.

Explanation:

Objects can have multiple forces acting on them simultaneously. Forces can act in different directions and magnitudes. For example, a book on a table has the force of gravity pulling it downwards and the normal force from the table pushing it upwards.

Answer:

The statement is incorrect because multiple forces can act on an object at once. An example is a book on a table with gravity and normal - force acting on it.
