question 8
the net external force acting on an object is zero. which one of the following statements is true?
a. the object can only be stationary
b. the object can only be traveling with a constant velocity
c. the object can be stationary or traveling with a constant velocity
d. the object can only be traveling with a velocity that is changing

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Newton's first - law

According to Newton's first law of motion, if the net external force acting on an object is zero, the object will remain at rest (stationary) if it was initially at rest, or it will continue to move with a constant velocity if it was initially in motion.

Answer:

C. The object can be stationary or traveling with a constant velocity
