The image below shows a force of 10 N being applied to an object. The force is being applied toward the right, so the object is accelerating to the right. No other force is acting on the object.

o>10n this is the image

Examine the image. Then, answer the question that follows.

A second force of 7 N is applied to the object. If this second force is applied toward the left while the first force is still being applied toward the right, which of the following will occur?
A.
The object will continue moving toward the right, and its rate of acceleration will increase.
B.
The object will continue moving toward the right, but its rate of acceleration will decrease.
C.
The object will begin moving toward the left, and it will move at a faster speed.
D.
The object will begin moving toward the left, and it will move at a slower speed.
