The motion of an object is always towards the direction of the resultant force acting on i

The statement is correct. According to Newton's second law of motion, the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and is in the direction of the net force. In simpler terms, an object will move in the direction of the force applied to it. If multiple forces are acting on the object, it will move in the direction of the resultant (combined) force.

Here are the steps to understand this:

1. Consider an object at rest. If no force is applied, it will remain at rest due to inertia (Newton's first law).

2. If a single force is applied, the object will move in the direction of that force.

3. If multiple forces are applied, we need to calculate the resultant force. This is done by vector addition, taking into account the magnitude and direction of each force.

4. The object will then move in the direction of the resultant force. The greater the magnitude of the resultant force, the greater the acceleration of the object.

5. If the forces are balanced (i.e., their resultant is zero), the object will not accelerate and will either remain at rest or continue moving at a constant velocity.

6. If the forces are unbalanced (i.e., their resultant is not zero), the object will accelerate in the direction of the resultant force.
