The particle will be rendered still

Explanation:

The particle will be rendered still because of the Newton's 1st law of motion states that a body will continue to move on forever until contacted by an equal and opposite force. The same case has been produced here and it is justifying the law. If the Force has another direction and magnitude than 10 N then the body will continue to move on in the direction of the greater force.
