An object has a force of 10 newtons from the right and 17 newtons from the left. Once the object starts moving toward the right, an additional force of 7 newtons is applied from the right. What can you conclude about the direction of motion of the object after the application of the additional force?

Select one of the options below as your answer:

A.
The object will continue moving toward the right.

B.
The object will slow, stop, and then begin to move toward the left.

C.
The object will come to a halt.

D.
The object will accelerate in its motion to the right.

See previous post(9:59am).

To determine the direction of motion of the object after the application of the additional force, we need to analyze the net force acting on the object.

First, let's add up the forces applied from the right side:

10 newtons (initial force from the right) + 7 newtons (additional force from the right) = 17 newtons from the right

Next, let's analyze the forces applied from the left side:

17 newtons from the left

Now, we can calculate the net force acting on the object:

Net force = sum of forces from the right - sum of forces from the left
Net force = 17 newtons (from the right) - 17 newtons (from the left)
Net force = 0 newtons

When the net force is equal to zero, the object remains at rest or continues moving at a constant velocity. In this case, there is no net force acting on the object after the application of the additional force. Therefore, the object will continue moving toward the right (option A) at a constant velocity.
