Lindsey Mcmahon · Answer 1

A. in the direction of the applied force

Explanation:

As per newton's first law of motion we know that object will not change in its state of motion till some external force is applied on it

So here we can say that when force is applied on an stationary object then the stationary object will move in the direction of applied force so change in the state of motion from rest state to moving state will occur and the direction of motion must be in applied force direction

So correct answer will be

A. in the direction of the applied force

Clinton Bishop · Answer 2

The correct answer is A. In the direction of applied force. This is because acceleration occurs n the direction of applied force according to Newtons second law of motion which states that the acceleration of a body is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place in the direction of force.
