The illustrations depict four objects subject to various forces. The arrows indicate the direction of the forces, and the forces are measured in newtons (N). According to Newton's law of inertia, which object is maintaining a constant speed, assuming all four objects are on a frictionless surface?(1 point) Responses Image with alt text: There is a box with Object 3 labeled inside. There is one arrow on the left side of the box that is pointing left and labeled 5 N. There is one arrow on the right side of the box that is pointing right and labeled 8 N. Image with alt text: There is a box with Object 2 labeled inside. To the left of the box that are two arrows pointing left. The first arrow is labeled 1 N and the second arrow is labeled 12 N. There are also two arrows on the right side of the box that are pointing right. The first arrow is labeled 2 N and the second arrow is labeled 6 N. Image with alt text: There is a box with Object 4 labeled inside. On the left side of the box there are two arrows pointing left. The first arrow is labeled 4 N and the second arrow is labeled 2 N. There is one arrow on the right side of the box that is pointing right and labeled 6 N.
Based on Newton's law of inertia, the object that is maintaining a constant speed on a frictionless surface would be Object 3. It has forces of equal magnitude and opposite direction acting on it (5 N to the left and 8 N to the right), resulting in a net force of zero and therefore no acceleration.
