Use the slider to apply a force of about 400 N. After 2 s have elapsed in the simulation, decrease the Applied Force (force exerted) slowly back to zero. Try to do this adjustment in roughly 2 s . While the Applied Force (force exerted) is decreasing, the velocity is:. a. constant.
b. increasing.
c. decreasing.

c. decreasing.

Explanation:

Force produces acceleration or deceleration. Force is the product of a body's mass and its acceleration. When a force is applied to an object, the force tends to cause the body to move if the body was originally stagnant, cause the body to accelerate if applied in the direction of the body's velocity, or decelerate the body if applied in opposite direction to the velocity of the body. When the force that is exerted on a moving body is slowly reduced to zero, frictional forces between the body and the floor surface gradually decelerates the body. When this deceleration occurs, the velocity of the body gradually decreases t a stop.
