Question #5b7be

Answer 1

Well Asha, consider that even if force is absent or you have a set of forces that all together give a zero resultant doesn't mean that your object, that was previously moving, immediately stops...on the contrary! You get this on a bus when it applies the brakes and you....keep on moving forward!!!! You were moving before and you keep moving even if there are not forces acting on you.

Consider your example:

The last velocity before force disappeared is the one responsible!!!!

Have a look at Newton's Law (the first one) and you'll see that the absence or zero resultant of forces leave your body STILL or in UNIFORM MOTION!!!!

(hope it is not confusing)
