An object is moving in the +x direction. Which, if any, of the following statements do you know must be false?

An object is moving in the +x direction. Which, if any, of the following statements do you know must be false?


The net force on the object is in the +x direction.


Or


The net force on the object is in the 鈥搙 direction.


Or


The net force on the object is zero.





An object is moving in the +x direction. Which, if any, of the following statements do you know must be false?
Surely 2nd %26amp; 3rd stmts are false.An object is moving in the +x direction. Which, if any, of the following statements do you know must be false?
The correct answer depends on whether the object is travelling at constant velocity, accelerating forward (increasing velocity) or accelertaing backward (decreasing velocity) . As we do not know any of these, we cannot tell which statement could be false





Take first statement: If the net force is in the +X direction, the object will accelerate in direction +X. We do not know this so this statement could be false





Same for second ststement, if the object was slowing down the net force would be in the -X direction we do not know this, so this statement could be false





If the net force was zero, the object would be travelling with constsnt velocity. We do not know this, so this statement could be false.





From the information given, it is impossible to state whether any statement is true or false.
