Problem

A 2.0 kg2.0\,\text{kg} puck on perfectly frictionless ice is subjected to the following horizontal forces in four separate trials. In which trial is the puck’s acceleration exactly zero? (a) Simultaneous 4 N4\,\text{N} forces directed north and east. (b) A single 3 N3\,\text{N} force directed east. (c) Simultaneous 3 N3\,\text{N} forces directed east and west. (d) Simultaneous 4 N4\,\text{N} force directed east and 3 N3\,\text{N} force directed west.
