Definition of Force Inertia and First Law: Practice Problem & Solution

An object experiences no acceleration which of the following can NOT be true for the object 
A single force acts on the object
No forces act on the object
Forces act on the object, but the forces cancel
All of the above

Short Solution (Best for NEET):

To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Definition of Force Inertia and First Law. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:

If only one force acts on the object it will be the net force. So the object will accelerate and it can't be at rest
