Question

A force is being applied on a body but it causes no acceleration. What possibilities may be considered to explain the observation?

CLASS - XI PHYSICS (Laws of Motion)

Answer 1

Thanks for asking the question.
Since the acceleration is 0, the net force acting on the body must be 0. this can be explained by newton's second law of motion. thus there must be some other force may be friction acting on the body in a direction opposite to the applied force.
Hope it helps.

Answer 2

Since the acceleration is 0, the net force on the object is 0.
There must some opposing force acting on the body. This opposing force may be friction or wind force or some other opposing force.
