Part A If a car is moving to the left with constant velocity, one can conclude that ANSWER: there must be no forces exerted on the car. the net force exerted on the car is directed to the left. the net force exerted on the car is zero. there is exactly one force exerted on the car. Part B An object cannot remain at rest unless ANSWER: there are no forces at all exerted on it. the net force exerted on it is zero. the net force exerted on it is constant. there is only one force exerted on it.
