When switch S in the figure is closed at time $t=0$, which of the following best describes the motion of a block of mass $m$ attached to a horizontal frictionless surface and pulled by a constant force $F$?

Which of the following explanations is contrary to Newton's first law of motion?

According to Newton's First Law, when an object is acted upon by balanced forces ($F=0$), which two types of motion can it experience?

According to Newton's Second Law, what does the sum of forces acting on an object equal to? $\sum F=ma$
