Q: Soni says that the acceleration in an object could be zero even when several forces are acting on it. Do you agree with her? Why?

\$\textbf {Hint :}\$ When equal and opposite forces act on any object, then they cancel out each other so that the total external force experienced by the object is zero. \$\textbf{Step1: Draw free body diagram}\$\$\textbf{Step2: Calculate net force}\$So net force, \$F=m\times a\$Where, F=Net force, m=Mass, a=Acceleration.Hence, If net force (F) =0, then acceleration (a) will also be equals to zero (because mass ‘m’ cannot be zero). Therefore, acceleration in an object could be zero even when several forces are acting on it. Hence, Agree with Soni.

Q: An object experiences a zero external unbalanced force. Is it possible for the object to be travelling with a non-zero velocity? If yes, state the conditions that must be placed on the magnitude and direction of the velocity. If no provide a reason.

Explanation : \$\bullet\$Yes, an object may travel with a non-zero velocity even when the net internal force on it is zero. \$\bullet\$An object moving in some direction with constant velocity will continue in it's state of motion as long as there are no external unbalanced forces acting on it. \$\bullet\$In order to change the motion of the object, some external unbalanced force must act upon it.\$\bullet\$A raindrop falls down with a constant velocity. The weight of the drop is balanced by the up thrust and the velocity of air. The netforce on the drop is zero.

Contact forces Non-contact forces  These are forces which need a physical touch on the object to act upon it. These are forces which do not need a physical contact to act on an object. These may or may not be natural forces. These are natural forces  They can not work from a distance. They can work from a distance as well.
