A force applied in the opposite direction with the same magnitude at the same time.
The correct option that describes an action that could prevent the object from moving is:
- A force applied in the opposite direction with the same magnitude at the same time.
To determine which option describes an action that could prevent the object from moving, we need to consider the concept of forces and their effects on motion.
When a force acts on an object, it can cause the object to move or change its motion. The direction and magnitude of the force determine the effect it has on the object.
In this case, the force is acting on the object and is trying to make it move. To prevent the object from moving, we need to apply another force that counteracts the original force.
Option "a force applied in the opposite direction with the same magnitude at the same time" is a possible action that could prevent the object from moving. By applying a force in the opposite direction to the original force, with the same magnitude, the two forces will cancel out, resulting in a net force of zero. This means there is no force remaining to cause the object to move.
What happens if the force applied in the opposite direction has a greater magnitude? In this case, option "a force applied in the opposite direction with a greater magnitude at the same time", the object will still not move. The greater force will overcome the original force and result in a net force of zero, preventing the object from moving.
On the other hand, if we apply a force in the same direction as the original force, the object will definitely move. Option "a force applied in the same direction with the same magnitude at the same time" will cause the object to accelerate in the direction of the applied force.
Similarly, if we apply a force in the same direction but with a greater magnitude, the object will also move. Option "a force applied in the same direction with a greater magnitude at the same time" will result in a larger net force, causing the object to accelerate even more.
Considering all the options, the correct answer is either "a force applied in the opposite direction with the same magnitude at the same time" or "a force applied in the opposite direction with a greater magnitude at the same time", as both actions would prevent the object from moving.
