Question
- A. The object will remain at rest or move at constant velocity — definition focus for resultant force
- B. This confuses resultant force and balanced forces and does not answer Resultant forces.
- C. This is too vague because it does not use the force or motion quantity named in the objective.
- D. This reverses the physical cause and effect for Forces and their interactions.
Answer
The correct answer is: The object will remain at rest or move at constant velocity — definition focus for resultant force
Explanation
The correct option is The object will remain at rest or move at constant velocity — definition focus for resultant force. The object will remain at rest or move at constant velocity — definition focus for resultant force is correct because it matches the approved learning objective to explain that a non-zero resultant force can change an object's motion. This answer belongs to Resultant forces within Forces and their interactions, so it must use precise AQA GCSE Physics forces and motion vocabulary. The other options are wrong because they either confuse resultant force and balanced forces, omit the required force or motion condition, or move away from the exact subtopic being tested.
Common mistake
Misunderstanding Resultant Forces
Students often think that a non-zero resultant force only affects the speed of an object, ignoring changes in direction.
Emphasize that a non-zero resultant force can cause both a change in speed and a change in direction of an object's motion.
