the net external force acting on an object is zero. which of the following statements is/are true?
the object can only be traveling with a constant velocity.
the object can only be traveling with a velocity that is changing.
the object can only be stationary.
the object can be either stationary or traveling with constant velocity.
According to Newton's first - law of motion, an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. When the net external force on an object is zero, the object is in equilibrium. This means it can be either stationary (at rest) or moving with a constant velocity.
