Question

An object is moving north at a constant speed. A force of 5 N begins to push the object easy at the same moment that a force of 5 N begins to push it west. What will happen to the object?

Answer 1

The object will continue moving north at the same constant speed.

The 5N to the easy and the 5N to the west form a balanced pair of forces.
Their sum is zero, and their effect on the object is the same as if those
two forces were not there at all.
