Question

Soni says that the acceleration in an object could be zero even when several forces are acting on it. Do you agree with her? Why?

Answer

Yes, I agree with her.

Reason:
If multiple forces acting on an object are balanced, they cancel each other out, making the net force zero. According to Newton's second law (F = ma), if the net force is zero, the acceleration is also zero.
