Abook is pushed off the edge of a table. which is true about the motion of this book? a. it falls straight down because two continuous forces are acting on it. b. its path is unpredictable because there are no continuous forces acting on it. c. its path is harmonic because two instantaneous forces are acting on it. d. it follows a parabolic path because only one continuous force is acting on it.

The answer is A !! Gravity is a force that will bring an object to a complete stop.

A. It falls straight down because two continuous forces are acting on it. 

Hope this helps!

Is a  vector quantity  that refers to "the rate at which an object changes its position." imagine a person moving rapidly - one step forward and one step back - always returning to the original starting position. while this might result in a frenzy of activity, it would result in a zero velocity. because the person always returns to the original position, the motion would never result in a change in position. since velocity is defined as the rate at which the position changes, this motion results in zero velocity. if a person in motion wishes to maximize their velocity, then that person must make every effort to maximize the amount that they are displaced from their original position. every step must go into moving that person further from where he or she started. for certain, the person should never change directions and begin to return to the starting position.
