Question

Discuss one reason why the object may have continued to be displaced even when the Force applied remained constant.

Answer 1

Answer:

any body is in the state of rest or in uniform motion, it remains in that state until an external force is applied on it.

So, if a body is initially moving with some constant velocity, it can continue to move with same velocity even if no external force is acting on it.

In fact, the effect of force is to accelerate and not just displace. For example, an object moving straight in space far away from any celestial objects will continue to move forever, although there is no force acting on it. This is due to Newton's first law of motion or law of inertia.

Hence, Both statement 1 and statement 2 are true and statement 2 is correct explanation of statement 1.
