The block is in equilibrium. B. The block is accelerating to the right. C. The block is moving to the right at a constant speed. D. The block is slowing down. E. The block is accelerating to the left.
Understand the Problem
The question presents multiple scenarios regarding the motion of a block, each labeled with a letter. It's asking for an evaluation of these scenarios based on the principles of physics, specifically regarding equilibrium, acceleration, and velocity.
Answer
The block is accelerating to the left.
The block is accelerating to the left.
Answer for screen readers
The block is accelerating to the left.
More Information
The direction of acceleration is determined by the net force acting on the block. If the force is directed to the left, the block accelerates to the left.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing the direction of motion with the direction of acceleration. They are not always the same.
