Question

name:
part a: multiple choice
circle the best answer.

1. balanced forces always result in:

a) a change in motion
b) an object speeding up
c) no change in motion
d) an object moving faster and faster

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the concept of balanced forces. Balanced forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, so their net force is zero. According to Newton's first law, if the net force on an object is zero, the object will remain at rest or continue moving at a constant velocity (no change in motion). Option a is incorrect because a change in motion requires unbalanced forces. Option b and d involve acceleration (speeding up or increasing speed), which also requires unbalanced forces (net force non - zero). So the correct answer is c.

Answer:

c) No change in motion
