Best Answer

The Net external forces is the result force of two objects acting upon it. So if like two forces act on a book. One force exerts downward on the book and the other force pushes the table back on the book with the same amount of push and pull. Since both forces are pushing on each other with the same amount of energy the resultant force or net external force will be in equilibrium or zero.

A net external force acts on a particle this net force is not equal to zerois this sufficient information to conclude that the kinetic energy of the particle change?

No. Example: A planet in a circular orbit around a star. The net external force acting on the planet is the mutual force of gravitation between the planet and the star. The planet's speed is constant, so its Kinetic Energy = 1/2 m V2 is constant. The net external force causes a continuous change in the planet's velocity vector, although the magnituide of the vector is constant, and that's the only thing the K.E. depends on.
