Question

If several different forces act on an object, the motion of the object is determined by: A. the largest of the forces acting on the object, provided it is large enough to overcome the object's inertia. If it isn't, the object is not affected by the forces. B. the sum of all the forces, provided it is large enough to overcome the object's inertia. If it isn't, the object is not affected by the forces. C. the sum of all the forces, obtained by separately adding together the x-, y-, and z-components of the forces. D. the largest of the forces acting on the object. E. the sum of all the forces, obtained by adding together the magnitude of the forces.

Explanation / Answer

B. the sum of all the forces, provided it is large enough to overcome the object's inertia. If it isn't, the object is not affected by the forces
