gun kelly has the correct awnsers! so trust her
I can confirm Machine Gun Kelly is correct, I got all five questions correct.
When multiple forces are acting on an object at rest and these forces are opposed by an unbalanced force, the object will start to move. The direction of the object's motion will depend on the net force acting on it.
To understand this concept, we need to be familiar with Newton's First Law of Motion, which states that an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will continue to move in a straight line at a constant speed unless acted upon by an external force.
To calculate the net force on the object, we need to consider the vector sum of all the individual forces acting on it. Remember that forces are represented by vectors, which have both magnitude and direction. If the forces acting in one direction are greater than the forces acting in the opposite direction, then we have an unbalanced force.
If the net force is greater in one direction, that direction will determine the motion of the object. The object will accelerate in the same direction as the unbalanced force. Acceleration refers to a change in velocity, which includes both speeding up and changing direction.
For example, if we have two forces acting on an object at rest: F1 pushing to the right with a magnitude of 5 N and F2 pushing to the left with a magnitude of 3 N, the net force can be calculated by subtracting the forces: 5 N - 3 N = 2 N to the right. In this case, the unbalanced force is in the right direction, so the object will start moving to the right.
Therefore, an object at rest will be affected by multiple forces opposed by an unbalanced force by starting to move in the direction of the net force.
