Question
An object is traveling to the right under the influence of a constant net force also directed to the right. The net force is suddenly reduced to 1/2 its original value. Describe the motion of the object immediately after the force is reduced.
The object continues to move to the right and is still accelerating at a reduced rate.
The object begins to slow down.
The change in force has no measurable affect as it still has a net force to the right.
The object moves to the right with a reduced velocity.
A.The object continues to move to the right and is still accelerating at a reduced rate.
B.The object begins to slow down.
C.The change in force has no measurable affect as it still has a net force to the right.
D.The object moves to the right with a reduced velocity.
