If the force applied on the object is in the direction of motion, the speed of the object .........

Options

A. increases
B. stops
C. decreases
D. no effect

Answer

C

Explanation

In physics, if a force on an object has a component in the same direction as the motion, the work that force does on the object is positive.If a force on an object has a component in the opposite direction to the motion, the work done by that force on the object is negative.So, if an object is moving and there is an applied force in the opposite direction of the motion, the object will decelerate or slow down.
