According to Newton's first law of motion, what happens to a body when no force is acting on it?
According to Newton's first law of motion, what happens to a body when no force is acting on it?
- It immediately stops moving
- It accelerates in the direction of the force
- It moves in a curved path
- It remains at rest or continues to move at a constant speed in a straight line (correct)
What is the relationship between a body's acceleration, mass, and the net force acting upon it according to Newton's second law of motion?
What is the relationship between a body's acceleration, mass, and the net force acting upon it according to Newton's second law of motion?
- Acceleration divided by mass equals the net force
- Acceleration is directly proportional to net force
- Acceleration is inversely proportional to mass
- Acceleration multiplied by mass equals the net force (correct)
According to Newton's third law of motion, what can be said about the forces exerted by two bodies on each other?
According to Newton's third law of motion, what can be said about the forces exerted by two bodies on each other?
- The forces have the same magnitude and same direction
- The forces have different magnitudes and opposite directions
- The forces have different magnitudes and same direction
- The forces have the same magnitude but opposite directions (correct)
