What happens to the boat? (a) It eventually stops and remains stopped. (b) It eventually stops and then speeds up in the forward direction. (c) It eventually stops and then speeds up in the reverse direction. (d) It never stops but loses speed more and more slowly forever. (e) It never stops but continues to speed up in the forward direction.arrow_forwardA player kicks a soccer ball in a high arc toward the opponent's goal. At the highest point in its trajectory, whichis true? both the velocity and the acceleration of the soccer ball are zero. neither the ball's velocity nor its acceleration is zero. the ball's acceleration is zero, but its velocity is not zero. the ball's acceleration points upward. Why is it more difficult to start pushing a couch from rest than it is to maintain its motion at constant velocity? the normal force is larger when the couch is at rest. Because μk > μs It only seems more difficult Because μs > μkarrow_forwardWhich of the following are true statements about velocity, acceleration, and force? (More than one answer) A All three of these quantities are vectors. B Force always causes velocity to increase. C Acceleration always causes velocity to increase. D Acceleration is a change in force per unit time. E Force and acceleration are related by a law of nature; acceleration and change in velocity are related by a definition. F Velocity is not a vector, but force and acceleration are vectors. G Force = mass times velocity H Acceleration and net force are always in the same direction, but velocity can be in any relative direction to those. I Force and acceleration are related via mass. J Newton's Second Law of Motion says that: acceleration = mass times forcearrow_forward

The object is accelerating B. The object is at rest C. The objects velocity can only increase. D. The object is moving with constant velocity E.

No, the vector sum does not have to be zero when there is zero acceleration. Yes, it is impossible for acceleration to occur if there are no forces acting on an object. There is not enough data to infer a logical answer.arrow_forwardAn apple is falling from an apple tree. Which of the following statements is true? a.
