If the net force is zero on a motorcycle traveling at 20 m/s, which of the following statements is true concerning the motion of the motorcycle?
The motorcycle's motion will change.
The motorcycle will continue traveling at 20 m/s.
The motorcycle will accelerate at a rate of 20 m/s2.
The motorcycle will come to a stop.



Answer :

Answer:

The motorcycle will continue travelling at 20 m/s

Explanation:

Net force being zero means that the force and its opposite is equal in term of magnitude. We call it a balanced force.

Then we can refer to first law of newton - an object at rest will continue to be at rest and an object moving at constant speed will always remain moving same rate unless acted by an unbalanced force. However, there is only balanced force and therefore, we can conclude that the motorcycle will continue to travel at 20 m/s.
