Why is the net force 0 in the image?

• Because the elephants are the same size
• Because they are both pulling the same amount of force in opposite directions

Imagine a place in the cosmos far from all gravitational and frictional influences (no outside forces). If a rock were moving in the air

• the rock will move at a constant speed

• the rock will slow down

• the rock will accelerate

• the rock will change direction

Select ALL statements that best describe the motion of the object represented in this position vs. time graph (D vs T)

• object is speeding up

• object is slowing down

• forces acting on the object are balanced

• forces acting on the object are unbalanced

• the object is stationary

Are forces balanced or unbalanced when a car is moving at a constant speed in a straight line?

• Balanced
• Unbalanced

If the car in the diagram rolls faster and faster as it moves down the ramp, you can be sure that

• there is no friction acting on the object.

• the forces acting on it are unbalanced.

• the net force on the car is 0 N.

• only gravity is acting on the car.
