Question

An object experiances a net zero external unbalanced force. Is it possible for the object to be moving with a non zero velocity? If yes, state the conditions that must be placed on the magnitude and direction of the velocity. If no, provide a reason.

Answer 1

 When a net zero external unbalanced force is applied on the body, it is possible for the object to be travelling with a non-zero velocity. In fact, once an object comes into motion and there is a condition in which its motion is unopposed by any external force; the object will continue to remain in motion. It is necessary that the object moves at a constant velocity and in a particular direction.
