The same net force is applied to object A and object B. The observed accelerations of the two objects are not the same; object B has an acceleration three times that of object A. Which of the following is correct? The net force was applied over a longer distance for object A. Object B has a different, less streamlined shape than object A. Object A has three times the mass of object B. Object B has one-third the mass of object A.

A constant net force acts on an object. Which of the following best describes the object's motion? a. The object is at rest; its position is constant. b. The object is moving with a constant velocity. c. The object is moving with a decreasing acceleration in the opposite direction of the force. d. The object is moving with an increasing acceleration in the same direction of the force. e. The object is moving with a constant acceleration in the same direction of the force.

If all of the forces acting on an object balance so that the net force is zero, then (A) the object must be at rest (B) the object’s speed will decrease (C) the object’s direction of motion can change, but not its speed (D) None of the above will occur.
