Question

If an object is not moving, it means that no force is acting on it 1 point true False

Answer 1

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The body having zero acceleration simply means the net force acting on the body is zero.

For eg:

If we keep a book on a table,the body doesnt move unless we apply a horizontal force.But if we didnt apply that force that book does not move.Here the book exerts a force of gravity vertically downwards on earth.The table also provides a normal reaction force on the book which has the same magnitude as the weight of the body(the gravitational force mentioned above).As the 2 vertical componenets cancel each other out,we dont experience any accleration in the vertical direction.
