Missing options:

a. The object is accelerating.

b. The object's velocity can only increase.

c. The object is at rest.

d. The object is moving with constant velocity.

e. The object's velocity changes.

a. The object is accelerating.

e. The object's velocity changes.

Explanation:

Let's answer by using Newton's second law:

F = ma

where

F is the net force on the object

m is the mass of the object

a is the acceleration

From the equation, we see that if the force on an object is non-zero, then the object is for sure accelerating, since is different from zero.

So, option A is correct.

Now, we also recall the definition of acceleration, which is the rate of change of velocity:

$a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$

where $\Delta v$ is the change in velocity in the time interval $\Delta t$ . This can be rewritten as

$\Delta v = a \Delta t$

Here, since the acceleration is non-zero, it follows that also $\Delta v\neq 0$ : which means that the velocity of the object is changing.

So, option E is also correct.

The other options are wrong because:

b. The object's velocity can only increase. --> false, in fact acceleration can also be negative, and in that case the velocity would be decreasing

c. The object is at rest. --> false, since the velocity of the object is changing

d. The object is moving with constant velocity. --> false, since the velocity of the object is changing

How is it possible that phylogenies based on sequences from nuclear genomes and organellar genomes (i.e., chloroplasts and mitochondria) from the same group of species yield phylogenetic trees with different branching orders? answer : the genome of the endosymbiont is more closely related to members of the group in which it originally evolved, while the nuclear genome of the engulfing organism has its own evolutionary trajectory.

Will give brainliest! which statement best describes the similarities between fundamental forces? electromagnetic and strong nuclear forces influence the interaction between charged particles within an atom. gravitational and magnetic forces are both types of charges that occur in nature. nuclear and magnetic forces are both related to mass and weight. strong nuclear force is most like electrical force because they are both related to distance.
