The graph describes the motion of an object.

The object moves with constant acceleration/constant velocity/positive acceleration from A to B. It remains stationary/slows down/speeds up from B to C. It moves with constant acceleration/constant velocity/positive acceleration from C to D.

• constant acceleration; slows down; constant acceleration

• constant velocity; remains stationary; constant velocity

• positive acceleration; speeds up; constant velocity

• constant velocity; slows down; positive acceleration

• strong nuclear force

In the diagram, a force of 20 newtons is applied to a block. The block is in dynamic equilibrium. What is the magnitude and direction of the frictional force?

• No friction is acting on the block.

• 20 newtons in two directions, perpendicular and in the direction of the applied force

• 20 newtons perpendicular to the direction of the applied force

• 20 newtons opposite to the direction of the applied force

• 20 newtons in the direction of the applied force
