Only one force acts on an object.Can the object have zeroacceleration? Can it have zero velocity? Explain.
For a certain interval of time, an object is acted on by a constant non-zero force. Which of the following statements is true for this interval of time ? ( select all that apply)
the objects velocity changes
the object is accelerating

Three forces act on a 5-kg object: F1 = -2.0i + 3.0j N, F2 = 5.0i + 3.5j N, and F3 =
0.5i- 1.0j N. Assuming the object starts at rest at to = 0, write its velocity as a function of
time.
