Introduction to Forces — Quiz

Question 3 • Physics

A moving object is in equilibrium. Which best describes the motion of the object if no forces change?

Answer
A
It will maintain its state of motion.
B
It will change directions.
C
It will slow down and stop.
D
It will speed up and then slow down.

Explanation

In equilibrium, the net force on the object is zero, so its acceleration is zero. With no forces changing, its velocity stays constant: it continues moving at the same speed and in the same direction. Thus, it will maintain its state of motion.
