Question

what must be true about the forces acting on an object if the motion of the motion of the object does not change? (newton’s laws standard check questions)

Answer 1

The forces might be equal  and in the opposite directions if the motion of the object does not change.

Explanation:

• An object at rest or in a uniform motion continues to be so until an external force is applied on it.
• When the forces acting on an object are equal and opposite, the object will not move or move in a uniform motion only.
• To move the object in any direction, one of the forces has to be greater than the other force.

Answer 2

the forces might be equal and in opposite direction if the motion of the object does not change
