Q2.Consider the following.1. If the two forces act in the opposite directions on an object ,the net force acting on it is the difference between the two forces.
2. If the force is applied in the direction opposite to the direction of motion then it results in a increase in the speed of the object.
Select the incorrect option:
a)1 only
b)2 only
c)Both
d)None
View Answer / Hide AnswerANSWER: b)2 only
Explanation- If force applied in the opposite direction to the direction of the motion then speed decreases of the object.
